I think I'm a bit confused here. No one is saying anyone needs to use
Facebook to manage their contacts. The only point is that if you are
using Facebook then it also has a set of contacts you need to be aware
of when cleaning up your contacts.

Jewel,
I do not know if this will help your situation, but I had a friend that also
could not delete certain contacts, and it came up to be
because those contacts were linked to Facebook.
After he went into Settings / Facebook, and unchecked the box that synced his
Facebook friends with his contacts, then he was able
to delete those contacts.
So I would imagine that the contacts that you are not able to delete is from
another app like Facebook that has been linked to your
contacts.
Hope this helps,
Chris

yeah--yeah--yeah! I can hear a huge outcry from many who think otherwise, but
that is my opinion
and I haven't found any reason to change it!
I am having a hell of a job trying to get my contact list straightened out of
the mess that it has
got into. I wish that my monstrosity would delete as easily as Terri has found
it to be, though one
contact at a time. I open a contact that I wish to edit and press delete until
I am in danger of
getting repetitive strain injury, but does it delete? no fear! there it
stays, grinning at me!

Subject: Quick way to delete contacts
I know how to delete a contact one at a time: open contact double tap edit and
double tap delete. I
have not yet figured out a way to make this process quicker. Is there a way to
select contacts from
the contact list and then delete a group? I, being foolish, told the iTunes
software to sync my
contacts from Outlook with the phone. Unfortunately my Outlook contacts are a
jungle of insanity,
three and four different and the same email addresses for one person, etc.
Going through them one by
one and deleting each one per the above process is quite time-consuming. I hope
someone can lead me
toward A way to select multiple contacts for deletion.
Thanks for any ideas you can share. This list is awesome.
Best,
Terrie Terlau.
