Hi, To remove a Contact on your iDevice, do the following. You can use split-tap instead of double-tap, whichever you're most comfortable with.
• Double-tap on the Contacts app. • Double-tap on the contact you wish to delete. • Swipe right to the Edit button and double-tap it. • Place four fingers near the bottom of the screen and release to move focus to the bottom. • Double-tap the Delete button and confirm. This is cumbersome if you're wishing to delete numerous entries but there is a round-about way of deleting them all at once if that is your goal. • Go to your Setting app. • Select the iCloud option • Turn off Contact syncing. When you do this, it will ask you if you wish to keep the contacts that are on your iDevice or to remove them from your device. If you choose to remove them from your device, they will all be deleted. I would then sync your iPhone, which has the contacts all fixed thus sending them to iCloud and when you turn Contact syncing back on the Touch, the good ones will be synced. Hope this is not too confusing. Later... On 2011-11-27, at 8:40 AM, craig J Dunlop wrote: > how do I remove the contacts from the touch?
