Multiple duplicate address books in Contacts on Mavericks

I figured it out. When Mavericks first came out and the icloud.com servers were getting slammed, I had a lot of email problems. I deleted and created my icloud account several times. It appears that the contacts were retained on my computer. When I recreated the account, my contacts were apparently downloaded as a duplicated address book inside Contacts. That happened several times. The solution was to open my icloud accounts settings and uncheck the Contacts book every time a new check appeared automatically, choosing to delete my contacts from my computer every time. After repeatedly unchecking Contacts and deleting all contacts from my computer, I was able to recheck the Contacts box once and have my contacts downloaded once into Contacts. No more duplicates as shown in the screenshot above.
