How to delete ‘other known contacts’?

Try this.

Tap and hold on the contact you want to delete and from the pop-up menu that arises click create new contact. Name it something obvious like delete.

Search for the contact you just created and when you find it click on edit. Scroll to the bottom of the edit screen and there should be a delete contact option.

Tap on that and the contact should be gone.

I can’t be absolutely sure that your issue is the same as mine, but I wish you luck.

Go back one stage to the list of contacts.

Find the contact you want to delete then touch and hold that contact.

This should bring up a window with a list of actions.

There should be a Delete Contact action in red. Click this.

If there is no Delete Contact option then the contact might be locked in some way (but I do not know enough to advise how to proceed).

In the search field in Contacts, type a single character (a letter of the alphabet or a numeric digit).

Look at the search results.

If the mysterious contact appears, then you should be able to delete it.

If you find no results, try the same thing in Mail.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉



I have this same issue and tried this but there is no edit option for that contact in particular.
