How to delete multiple list groups in iCloud contacts

I have the same contact list name hundreds of times in my iCloud contacts, iPhone and iPad. How can i delete or merge the group lists without having to delete them one at a time. They do not appear multiple times in my Mac contacts.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Salutations tjdeloia, 


We understand that you’d like to remove or merge some duplicates in your iCloud contacts. Since those duplicates are not on your Mac but are appearing on the iCloud website, iPad and iPhone we’re going to recommend that you reach out to Apple Support for assistance. That is outlined in the following article as well - If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts


Here’s a link to connect with Apple Support - Apple Support


There is an option in iOS and iPadOS 16 to resolve duplicate contacts. You could try that on one of the devices and see if the changes sync with iCloud.
