[Guest awarner [MVP]]

How to Delete your entire contact list without doing a hard reset.

The best way to do this is to use Activesync, remember to follow the exect proceedure or you will risk losing your contact details on your pc as well.

Start Outlook the on your Contact screen click Edit\Select All thenEdit\Delete

This will remove all your Contacts from your PC (don't worry we have not finished yet). Do NOT quit Outlook at this point or you will lose your Contacts forever!

now sync the phone making sure the rules in ActiveSync are set to "replace the item on my device" when you sync your contacts will now be wiped from your phone.

Now your Contacts are removed from your phone, unplug the phone and with Outlook click on Edit\Undo Delete. This will return your Contacts back to normal on your pc.

Just remember not to quit Outlook until you have selected Undo Delete or you will also lose your contacts on the PC for good as well.
