what is this symbol with a circular arrow at the top of my contacts list?

ive noticed on my iphone 4s it now has a circular arrow in the top left of my conacts list like a refresh symbol but it does nothing. does anyone know what its for? i swear it wasnt there yesterday.

also how do you get rid of duplicate contacts or contacts you no longer need? i know we can merge contacts but there seems to be tons of names and numbers i have put into categories for work contacts and since using icloud when one person rings i have three different names for them that pops up.

iPhone 4S

1. It is a refresh icon, it initiates a manual sync with the server storing/syncing contacts.

2. Sinec you know about merge. You can also delete, tap to open a contact, click edit, and then scroll to the bottom. Alternatively, you can log into icloud.com and edit, delete, prune there much easier if you have many alterations to make.
