Email contacts displayed in phone listing, can't remove. How can I get rid of them?

Email contacts displayed in phone listing, can't remove.

After down loading 5.1 all my contacts in my gmai accountl appear in my phone listing, including email addresses. I don't want to scroll through all that to get to a phone number. I tried creating a new contact folder in gmail to move the email addresses out of "My Contacts", which I have been told populates the phone listing. It didn't work. I tried selecting a customized view in the "Contacts App". Still nothing changed. If I delete the email contact from my phone, it also disappears in gmail. This really sucks! I'm close to buying an iPhone to eliminate dealing with this garbage.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? Some Contacts apps have an option to display only contacts with a phone number (like my Zenfone 2).
