Erase all contacts

[sunthas]

Hi, first post. Good to join the android world.

I want to erase all the contacts on my phone so I can resync from Gmail. My new phone is the HTC Incredible which I got last week, and the old phone was a Blackberry Pearl which also sync'd contacts to Gmail. Problem is I started doing all the linking on the phone, then I realized Gmail had the ability to merge contacts... now I have a mess and I want to delete all my contacts and resync with gmail. I even backed them up onto the SD card in case of an issue.

Anyone know how I can erase all my contacts without resetting the whole phone?

Hi Sunthas,

There is an app in the Market called 'Remove Contacts' which I think will let you do that.

Android / Google - sync all email/contacts by default. Nice....
Anyway, log into your gmail account.
Export all your contacts.
Delete your contacts.
On Phone: settings \ Accounts & Sync
Google
Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Press "Sync Now" button

Once all contacts are removed from phone, uncheck "Sync Contacts"

Back to gmail
Import Contacts

Done.

Lame lame lame.
