Delete contacts on iPhone
April 11, 2008
Had some issues syncing a colleagues contacts. Basically, his iPhone synched with every address book it could find and now he has hundreds of contacts on his iPhone that he doesn’t need. Our first question was, can we delete our contacts on the iPhone itself and the second question was could we mass delete contacts on the iPhone. The reason why we ask this is that he didn’t have his computer close to him so he couldn’t delete using iTunes.
The answer to the first question is yes. It isn’t very obvious but you need to go to your contacts, select the contact you want to delete. In the upper right hand corner, there is an “edit” button. Once you do that scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the “Delete Contact” button. Seems pretty obvious now but wasn’t when your first trying.
The answer to the second question is probably not. Searched the Internet and tried different ways to delete in mass and failed. If you know of any way to mass delete contacts, please leave a comment. It would be greatly appreciated.

Simply Jailbreak your device so it no longer is confined! Once you can easily access any and all features of the iPhone that you desire. The iPhone is your device, you must free it from its limited state in order for it to realize its full potential.

I have thought about Jailbreaking the iPhone but we will be using them in an enterprise environment and as of now, don’t feel comfortable tryting to support multiple iPhones that have been Jailbroken. Still an option but not one we are willing to try at this point.
