I just got the new 6 edge last night. When the guy at the Sprint store sync'd my phone. every email I had ever sent (craigslist emails, etc.) was put into my contacts. How do I remove these unwanted contacts from my phone?
 
If you have been saving contacts to your Google account this should work:

1. Turn contacts sync off on the phone.
Settings > Accounts > Google > select account > Sync > uncheck Contacts.

2. Delete all contacts on the phone.

3. Log into your Google account online and put your contacts back to how they were at any desired point in the last 30 days by following these instructions:

4. Recommended optional step: Export the restored contacts as a .vcf file and save for backup.

5. Turn sync Contacts back on and let the phone download the restored contacts list.
