Ridding of Added Contacts:


A. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:

Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, restore your iPhone from one that has these photos (the most recent backup, ideally). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up your iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out. Note that you can only restore from a backup that is of the same iOS that is already installed, as you cannot downgrade the iOS.
