About Contact Remover

Small tool to let you delete multiple contacts. Select one, many, or all. Search to identify contacts to delete.

Touch to show contact details in app to help you decide which contacts to delete. Search works across all contact information (name, company, address, etc.).

*** For more features such as select by account, copy, move, and merge, see Contact Remover Plus!

NOTE: May not show or delete Facebook contacts depending on phone.

*** Please email me if you have any problems, questions or suggestions. We developers CANNOT RESPOND to comments left as feedback in the market-google just doesn't give us any way to do it, so please email us!

I suppose I should point out that for those reviewers complaining that this app does nothing that the built-in contact app doesn't do, please remember that not all phones have the same built-in apps, and that the contact app is often customized by the phone manufacturers or carriers to add features. Lots of phone don't have a bulk-delete capability, which is why I originally wrote this.

I have a Jeep Wrangler and it downloads all of the phone numbers (Contacts) from the Android Contacts Dialer. So that the including of WAZE and other accounts overwhelms the Jeeps Bluetooth logic. But YEAH with this I can delet all of the contacts with no phone numbers....

I searched for this app like I have done so many others. I found myself annoyed with another:: situation this time being duplicate contacts and old long forgotten contacts. All of them I have deleted 100 times and they would keep reappearing in my contact list over and over again. This app is awesome thank you so much. I can now scroll through my phone without seeing 100 ex girlfriends along the way.

It ended my problem. I was using Moto E 2 and there was no option to delete contacts all together. This app did the job well. And It's small size adds to its beauty. Thanks! :-) But this app hasn't been updated since 2011! Plz do it to make the interface look great...

It helped me find some numbers from years ago I thought I had lost, including Adam Lambert's brother. Lol. Don't know where it was hiding but I'll certainly be bothering him soon. Awesome!

Unwanted gmail synched contacts, appearing in phones EMAIL contact list. They could not be deleted via the S4 contacts menu. This did the job first go.

Excellent product does what it says. Really well. I'm giving 4 stars because I exported my contacts, after deleting 1400+, imported the csv file and BAM! They have ALL come back. Why? Just why were they not deleted when I asked? Maybe it's not this app, but for crying out loud. HELP

Nice app. But have navigation problem. I can not select or deselect first no due to scroll bar. It always appears on the check box which make it is impossible to select check box for the top most contact.

Deleted all dup entries in phone book log. Hoping it deletes and edits my Google account entries, otherwise when my EVO 4g syncs to my Google account, they end up just duplicating again. So only time will tell.

But i seem to hv a prob suddenly coz it cant read my contact list.. appeared empty when opened. Reinstalled it and worked then close and reopened empty again.. why man? Why? Tell me why... come on.. tell me whaayy..

It does permanently delete contacts but only one at a time maybe 3-4 times in a row then it freezes. If you try to delete multiple contacts at once it won't work at all. Bitter sweet.

It lists all contacts and asks you to delete. It doesn't find duplicate contact. Good I had back up else would have been in trouble as prompted I went on deleting the listed contacts. Recommending not to download.

My phone synced almost every person I've ever emailed. This solved my problem and frustration. Thank you to the developers!

When i open from phone application, it shows no contact. But if i go to Google play and open app from there it shows the contacts. Moto g is a phone which has many such problems making it dependent on apps. Please rectify it.

I have been trying to delete contact duplicates for a long time now. There where a few contacts I couldn't delete no matter where I looked my phone wouldn't let me. The stock contacts for my phone wouldn't let me delete those duplicates thank you this is the best app ever. HTC Sense Contacts Thunder Bolt

I wanted to delete all contacts, that worked. An annoying message "too many delete" appears, but that is the same with other similar app "Delete contacts".

I had some contacts like viruses. I couldn't delete them using multiple selection or through any means. With a simple click using this app, I got them deleted..

Coming from years of organized blackberry/outlook contacts... and making the transition to Android and its overwhelming repetitive frustrating app of a contacts storage... I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Now to just conquer the 2.5k contacts I have ended up with and get them back to my original and realistic 300+. Purchase full version so you can separate each account.

One less frustration. When I reset my phone, it loads my contacts up with every phone number and email I have ever contacted from my Gmail. Nothing worked until now. It just zaps them away. BAM! Awesome.

I've got loads of contacts imported from Gmail. I've searched for @ and the email addresses are highlighted but they are not ticked. Can you change the app to make that happen??

With my new Nexus 6, Google stuffed every single anonymous email address from every single contact I ever made through craigslist. I dumped over 400. Then I deleted another 200, many of which were placed into my contact list by Google, apparently. So helpful of them--ACK!

Thank goodness this app helps to clean up the mess Google makes adding every email address you've ever emailed to your dialer phone book. Make sure you turn off sync for Gmail. Like why would I want 500 email contacts in my dialer!?

My left button was not working so I was unable to do any editing Ti my contact list and it goes bigger and bigger with time. I had installed so many contact manager apps but no worth and so deleted just after first use. Then I found this app which exactly fits to my situation. No left button required . all options on screen itself. And moreover very light on system. Excellent app

Great! I finally found an app that was able to delete contacts that the built in Galaxy contact manager failed to delete. Easy, simple to use and not full of bells and whistles. If your contact list is messed up, this app will do the job. I would have given it a 5 star had it been able to identify duplicate contacts too.

Stupid Google had synced EVERY email address that I had ever sent, to my contacts. No amount of hiding contacts, deleting contacts etc. worked. But this did the job.

D70%
by D####:

The problem is that I can't select the last contact in the list it is because the scroll bar comes in between and won't let me check mark the contact. I feel developer should look at it once and rectify the problem..

It's perfectly working, does what it needs to do. A good suggestion : Suppose a single contact has multiple numbers, we're not able to delete one of them. We have to delete the contact altogether. A workaround would be appreciated. :)

It worked great and deleted my contact but the second time I loaded the app it just says there are no contacts left. Some kind of irritating bug. No thanks. Lollipop and moto x 2014 is my configuration where it doesn't work.

Spent (unsuccessfully) a long time trying to delete unwanted phone contacts from my Cubot mobile. At a simple stroke this app does the job magnificently. Single or bulk even unwanted e-mail addresses. Well done
