Contacts to Display

[Android Central Question]

Why is there no "Contacts to Display" feature in the Pixel 2 series. My phone syncs all of my contacts in my dialer including those with no phone numbers. Having to sort through 3k of entries to find a phone number is not cool. My Google account just syncs the deleted contacts back in my dialer when they are deleted. Any solutions?

Go into airplane mode. Delete the contacts you want deleted. Connect to Google Contacts (with a PC, of course) and delete the same contacts. Then turn airplane mode off and there's nothing on your Google account to sync back to the phone.
