One easiest and fastest way is by clearing Contacts Storage Data.

From the Home screen, drag upwards, tap Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Contacts Storage>Clear data. Done!

Be very sure that you have backup all your contacts backup before proceeding.

By the way, this is documented in the User Guide, page 35.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info but I have tried this but when I go to to the settings > and look at contact storage > it does not show contact storage > it only shows the applications that I have downloaded from the Market site and I cant find any way of changing this .      I have done what you suggested again and have read the manual again but still no joy .   before updating you could look at all applications on the phone but only gives access to downloaded ones now   Why ??? does any one know what I am doing wrong ???

Opssss.... missed out something.

Settings>Applications>Manage applications>MENU (left hard button)>Filter>AllClear data.

Lesson learnt! Better not rely on the user guide too much (experience counts). :smileymischief:
