2. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Contacts Storageand select Clear data.

Note: This will also clear other data like your recent calls and Favorites.

Method 2 – Delete all contacts from the account you sync with

If you don’t mind losing your contacts in your account as well as your phone, delete all of the contacts from the account your Android syncs with using your computer. For example, if you sync your Android with Google Contacts, sign into Gmail and follow these steps:

1. Select Contacts on the left pane.

2. Check the box at the top of the left row to select all contacts.

3. Select More > Delete contacts.

The next time your Android automatically syncs with Google, they will be completely cleared.
