You can sync them to an app on your computer, as described in the manual, then bulk delete them there. You can do the same with iCloud.
If you don't want to do either of these (and you really should do at least one of them to protect against loss of your contacts when the iPhone iOS crashes and wipes out your data) then you need a 3rd party app like Speed Names. It sort of allows bulk delete by tapping each of the contacts you want to remove, then tapping the "Delete" button.

I would login to icloud.com
Click your contacts
Multi select your contact with Shfit down and click the cog at the bottom and delete,
I think that may do you, assuming of course you use the cloud!
How, exactly, did you get them to begin with? If your phone is syncing to his iCloud account, when you delete them, they will also be deleted from HIS phone...
we the same apple id. i had a crap phone before and when i got my iphone it gave me his. Someone answered my question already but thanks anyway!
thank you!
