Hi BobSockamono,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to delete several contacts at the same time. You can use the iCloud website to delete multiple contacts at the same time. This article has the steps: Delete contacts on iCloud.com - Apple Support.


"You can delete a contact in Contacts on iCloud.com. When you delete a contact, it’s deleted on every device that has Contacts turned on in iCloud settings.


  1. In Contacts on iCloud.com, click the All Contacts group in the sidebar, then select one or more contacts you want to delete.
  2. Press the Delete key, then click Delete.

You can also remove a contact from a group. See Create and manage groups of contacts on iCloud.com.

If you accidentally delete a group or contact, you can restore an archived version of your contacts. See Restore contacts stored in iCloud on iCloud.com."


If you have duplicate contacts, you can merge all your duplicates at the same time on the iPhone. This article has the steps: Get rid of duplicate contacts on iPhone - Apple Support.


We hope this helps.


Take care.
