Multiple “iPhone” Contact Lists

Hello. I have multiple “iPhone” contact lists on my device. I believe they are remnants from when I used to sync with a former employers Exchange server. Try as I may, I can’t seem to remove these superfluous lists. Any suggestions, aside from wiping my device, would be greatly appreciated.


Tried thus far;

1) Removing all accounts from iPhone (These lists seem to be local on the device)

2) Syncing with MacBook that has zero contact lists/contacts

3) Confirming the lists are not on my SIM card

4) Disabling contacts from iCloud

5) Signing out of iCloud

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Hi SBerman. Sadly, no. I wish it was that easy. It’s like the native/local “iPhone” list was duplicated at some point.
