Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? What do you mean by "started to download all deleted contacts had to force stop"? Does this mean the contact file seemed to download, but then it failed? Did all of your other contacts get deleted somehow?

Unless you successfully downloaded the file, I don't think you'll be able to access it, since SMS/MMS are stored in an SQLite database on a protected system directory. If you open the Messaging app again and go back to that thread, does the message that contained the contact file still exist? If so, can you tap it again to try downloading the file again?
