I'm not asking this to chide you in any way, but if you added them the way I think you may have getting rid of a whole slug of 'em should be a breeze. Here's what I'm thinkin' you did to add 'em in the first place; you connected your iPhone to your PC and sync'ed "Information" from your PC to your iPhone. This would have taken all of the entries off your PC Contacts and obligingly copied them to your iPhone. If this be the case, well sir, you are in luck. Here's what you need to do: - On your PC, create a back-up folder of some kind for the Contacts you do not want on your iPhone - again, on your PC, go to your active Contacts folder and select each of the entries you do not want on the iPhone - using <CONTROL>+X, delete all those contacts you've just selected from your active Contacts folder - remember that "back-up folder" I advised you to create before, well go there and using <CONTROL>V paste all those unwanted entries into this folder - now, sync "Information" from your PC to the iPhone (yes, this will cause only the entries still in your active Contacts folder to be present on your iPhone) - finally, if you still want all those Contacts you just moved to the "back-up folder" present in your PC's active Contacts, move them back to the active folder and be careful to not sync your iPhone again without repeating these steps This has worked for me every time I've needed to get rid of a contact on my iPhone, although I usually wait until there's at least 5 or so before going through all this turmoil.

Mahorney Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 5:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: contacts do not delete I have more contacts in the phone than I want. I have so far been unable to remove them. Clicking delete under the edit menu for each contact results in the following "the linked contact will not be deleted" I am still presented with a delete button. However, the contact is not removed. What am I missing and how can I remove these contacts short of an all out reset? Ray T. Mahorney WA4WGA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
