Welcome to Android Central! I don't know the specific answer, but let me ask you this--do you really need the contacts in the Device account? I usually recommend keeping your contacts in your Google account, so that they're safely synced with your Google Contacts in the cloud. That way, if something happens to the phone, you won't lose all of that information. If you use Google Contacts exclusively, then you could clear out all of those Device Account contacts, and you wouldn't have this issue.
