Unable to delete contacts

[fagin84]

Hi,

I have a few contacts on my M8 that I'm unable to delete. One of them is a general phone number that won't give me the delete option on it. The are two others which are viber contacts and whenever I select to delete them on viber nothing happens and they also show up in my general phone contacts list with no option to delete there. Any ideas on how I can remove them?

Thanks

Try Google Contacts. If they're not there, hit the menu in Contacts, go to Settings and see if there's a "convert device contacts to Google contacts" kind of item - some carriers leave it in, some take it out. If it's there, convert to Google, sync contacts and it'll be at the site, where you can delete what you want. (If not, the phone has to be rooted, and you have to "speak" SQL to manually remove a contact from the database, so that's probably not an option for you.)
