So I was trying to get rid of a Low on Space warning/error message and I accidentally deleted all of my contacts from the Contacts Storage.
How can I get them back???

Were they listed as Google Contacts or Phone Contacts? If the former, just go to Settings->Accounts and Sync->Google Account and click on Contacts and it will sync them back. If they were phone contacts, you're out of luck unless you use Backup Assistant and unfortunately I don't so I can't help you with it.

Crap, I tried that and it did not work. They must be phone contacts.
Stupid stupid mistake.
Anyone know how to get phone contacts back?

I have never was able to retrieve my phone contacts either, Is there a way to make your phone contacts google contacts or save them on a sd card?

cant you just use backup assistant ?
Try logging in to your Gmail account on the web, and then go to Contacts (link on the left-side panel).
If no contacts are listed, go to the drop-down for "More actions" ->then, "Restore..."
That will let you look back in time to see what contact lists you may have had and that might save you some grief.
No guarantees - worth a shot.

In the People app, pull up the menu and select Import/Export. Export them to the SD card. When you reimport them, you will have the option of making them either phone or Gmail contacts.
