Single contact has the same information listed multiple times?

[acaruthers]

I am trying to clean up my contacts list (Galaxy s20+) I have several contacts where the same information is listed multiple times under that one contact. It is not that the contact is listed multiple times, but when i click on the contacts name, it shows the phone number, email, etc multiple times. I have tried editing and deleting then information, but it is still there even after I delete it. How/Why are the numbers listed so many times and how do I get rid of them?

Open the Contact, 3 dots at the upper right corner, tap Link to another contact, check to see if you have that contact linked to another contact. If it is linked, un-linking it should rid you of the duplicate information.

It is linked to another contact, but it is a duplicate contact. How do I get rid of the duplicates?

Excellent. Another member had this issue a week or two ago, so I found a contact that showed duplicate information, and work it myself. It'll drive ya nuts if youve never dealt with it. Glad to help!
