What is a quick way to delete multiple contacts at once?

I already backed up my contacts but have over 100 contacts that I no longer need.  I know how to delete a contact one at a time, but I would like to delete multiple contacts at once.  How do I do this?

Have you tried Automator?
For example:

  • What is the most efficient way to delete multiple contacts

    How can I delete multiple contacts at one time?

    Ok, here was the fix.  I found that the date added was 18 minutes apart for the duplicates.  Since half the music was added at :19  and half was added at :37, I sorted by date added in the display duplicates window, and deleted the music by date!  It took 5 minutes.  I know enough to get me in and out of trouble, and that's all I know!

  • Is there any way to delete multiple spams at once, right now I go through each individually and delete it, but it's time consuming, thanks

    Is there any way to delete multiple spam messages at once. Right now I go through each individual spam and delete one at a time. This is very time consuming. Any tricks out there.
    Thank you

    Hi LRagsdale517,
    You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Is there any way to delete multiple emails at once?

    Just set up my iphone 5 including my email account.  now I have to clear our 4,000 emails.  Is there an easy way to do this?

    I have just brought Iphone 4 and I have the similar issue. I am getting nearly 1000 mails daily. out of which I have to delete few according to subject line or To line. Can you please tell me how can I "SELECT ALL" and then "DELETE ALL" after I search those mails.
    Its annoying to mark  each mail as its too much. Is there "DELETE ALL" method ?
    FYI, I have even tried below method
    Searched my mail
    after search completed, > Edit > selected only one mail so 3 button enabled at bottom i.e delete, move,mark > pressed and hold the Move button and deselected mail
    > this opens move window. it also shows total number of mail in search
    > selected TRASH folder and move
    > it shows no mails in search at that time. which means all mails were moved to TRASH.
    But when I go back to mail account main folder, all the mails are there.
    I was able to do delete multiple mails in BlackBerry curve, so I expected that iphone will handle this too when I brought this phone.
    can you please help.

  • Trying to delete multiple contacts at once on iPhone

    I wanted a large (~200) subset of my contacts (within Outlook) to be added to my iPhone, so I used the iTunes Contact Sync to get all of my contacts there (rather than type in 200 with the iPhone keyboard, which leaves something to be desired). Now I have all of my contacts on the iPhone, but only want the 200 or so.
    Is there an easy way to select a group or multiple contacts and mark them for deletion? Right now it appears as if I need to go through one by one, which will NOT work for me.
    thanks.

    There is no such option with the iPhone.

  • Delete multiple contacts at once

    I haven't been able to find a way t delete more than one contact at a time. Deleting them individually is way too long since I have a lot to get rid of. Can someone tell me how to go about this?

    Download the free app called My Contacts Backup. The app will allow an easy way to wipe out all of the contacts on the device. This feature is accessed by scrolling all the way down on the main app screen. Note that this does NOT allow you to select multiple contacts to delete but rather only allows you to delete the ENTIRE contacts list. There may be other contacts apps in the App Store that will allow you to select which you want to delete but I have no experience nor can comment on which apps those are.
    As you've found, iOS's Contacts app does NOT allow you to bulk-delete contacts. You need to use an additional app.

  • Delete Multiple Contacts at Once - Exchange Server

    I sync only with Exchange Server at work and have private, department & corporate contacts. In some cases one contact can be in all three classifications so I end up with the same contact 3 times on my iphone. Is there a want to mark duplicates for mass removal in lieu of deleting one contact at a time? Or at the very least deleting without having to actually open each contact?

    Not on the phone, but you can from a contact management program (such as Outlook) or from icloud.com if you are syncing your contacts with iCloud.

  • JSP, BC4J, Row Tag: what is the best way to delete multiple rows?

    Hi all.
    I have a JSP Edit page with three datasources on it. The tables these VO's represent (A, B and C) have a Parent --> Child (1:1 between A and B) relationship and then another Parent --> Child (1:n between B and C) relationship. So the user retrieves one row for Table A, 1 matching row for table B and then between 0 and 6 matching rows for Table C (there cannot be more than 6 because the user can only add these rows from a finite list).
    In my EditSubmit page, I want to perform a RowTag Update action on Tables A and B and they both work no problem. They can't update any rows from Table C but they can add or delete from the list of 0 - 6 rows (the UI is actually a list of 6 checkboxes that they can turn on or off). I figure that the easiest way to handle this rather than keep a list of original values and compare them is simply to delete all existing rows and then add any that the user checked.
    This is causing a problem. I have added a hidden field to the form that picks up the RowKey for each existing row. I can get these RowKeys in the Submit page but cannot find a way of using them with the Delete Row Tag.
    In the end, the only way I could get it to work was the following code (which I stole from the RowTag.java file in jbohtmlsrc.zip):
    if (stakeMailRowKeys != null) {
    for (int counter = 0; counter < stakeMailRowKeys.length; counter++) {
    Key stakeMailKey = new Key(stakeMailRowKeys[counter], stakeMailingRS.getViewObject().getKeyAttributeDefs());
    stakeMailRows = stakeMailingRS.findByKey(stakeMailKey,1);
    stakeMailingRow = stakeMailRows[0];
    // Tell the row to delete itself from the database
    stakeMailingRow.remove();Is there a simpler way to do this (I figure there probably is)? I have another problem with updating the constrained View Objects but I will leave that out of this thread for now.
    TIA,
    Simon

    I don't know if this will help you, but this is what I do:
    I separate the logic into a delete.jsp page. If you can create a View Object that will represent the rows you want to delete and append a where clause to select only the rows you want to delete. Then loop through the view deleting each row. Lets just say you have department and employee tables. and you want to delete employees within a given department. Create a view object that brings back all employees.
    In your delete.jsp find out the department no. by request.getParameter("dept_id");
    then append this to the where clause of your view Object and execute the query:
    vo.setWhereClause(request.getParameter("dept_id");
    vo.executeQuery;
    now loop through and remove the rows:
    while(vo.next){
    vo.getCurrentRow().remove();
    and commit or post changes accordingly.
    There are many ways of doing this action. The easiest way I have found is to create the ViewObjects based on what actions you want to take on them. Make bc4j work for you.

  • How to delete multiple contacts in iphone 5s

    Is there an easy way to delet multiple contacts on iphone 5s annd 5c. I can delete them one at a time, but wondered if theres a way to do some of them but not all.

    No, there's no mass delete or partial mass delete option.
    If these are iCloud based contacts, you may find it easier to go to www.icloud.com and delete them there.
