Multiple unremovable Contact Lists named "iPhone"

Hi __evan__,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! Have you previously synced your device with a computer? If so, the synced contact list would be labeled "iPhone" by default. If unsure, you can try the steps below to sync to the computer again and deselect "Sync contacts onto [device name].":

Sync contacts and calendars onto your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Connect your device to your Mac.

2. You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. See Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch over Wi-Fi.

3. In the Finder  on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

4.

5. If you connect your device to your Mac using a USB cable and don’t see the device in the Finder sidebar, see If your device doesn’t appear in the sidebar. 

6. Click Info in the button bar.

7.

8. Do any of the following:

9.

* Sync contacts to your device: Select the “Sync contacts onto [device name]” checkbox, then click “All groups” or “Selected groups.” If you clicked “Selected groups,” select the checkboxes of the groups you want to sync in the Groups list. To add new contacts to a specific group, select the “Add new contacts from this [device] to” checkbox and choose a group from the pop-up menu. 

* Sync calendars to your device: Select the “Sync calendars onto [device name]” checkbox, then click “All calendars” or “Selected calendars.” If you clicked “Selected calendars,” select the checkboxes of the calendars you want to sync in the Calendars list. To prevent calendar events older than a specific number of days from syncing, select the “Do not sync events older than [number] days” checkbox and enter a number of days. 

* Replace the contact or calendar information on your device: Select “Replace Contacts” or “Replace Calendars” to have that information on your device replaced with the information on your Mac.

13. When you’re ready to sync, click Apply.

You can choose to sync your Mac and your device automatically whenever you connect them. See Turn automatic syncing on or off on Mac.

Before disconnecting your device from your Mac, click the Eject button  in the Finder sidebar.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Hi __evan__,

Thanks for the followup and for trying those steps.

Next, check to see if there are any configuration profiles on your iPhone that may be adding a contact list. If there are any profiles you don't recognize, you can use the steps in the following article to remove them: How to delete an app that has a configuration profile on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, we suggest you contact Apple Support so that they can look into this with you further. They can be reached here: Get Support

Take care!

Hello __evan__,

Since those lists are still appearing after checking on those items you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this behavior further.

Take care.
