I'm sure there's always a confirmation button you have to tap before it goes away. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jewel" <jewelbla...@kinect.co.nz> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 6:52 AM Subject: Re: Quick way to delete contacts
I have done many stupid things in my 77 years, but, surely, the most stupid would have to be when I acquired an iPhone exactly 1 year ago, a year that has been full of frustration and tribulation! 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!

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.
