Details are saved in a cache on the phone and the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new and of course you loose all data and settings so you might not want to do that

That is because you restored from a backup and all the data you wanted to get rid of was contained in the backup. As I said you need to restore as new (don't use the backup) and you will loose all data and settings from your phone
