"Recent calls" list won't clear

So, under iOS 8.3 on an iPhone 6plus, the "recent calls" list has becoming zombie-like; once cleared, it reappears. Often several times a day. And it keeps getting longer, with new calls added to the top. Any way to permanently clear this thing?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3

  1. From the Home screen, tap Phone.
  2. Tap on Recents.
  3. Then tap Edit.
  4. Tap Clear.
  5. Tap Clear All Recents to confirm. This will remove call history

Same problem here. I've had the problem off and on since v8.x, but no problem recently until I upgraded to v9.1 yesterday. Now my cleared call list reappears within seconds of clearing the list. I have iCloud Drive turned off, have tried rebooting my device before and after clearing the list, and have tried deleting calls one by one. I have a company issued phone and access to iCloud is blocked when connected to my company WiFi, so I doubt this is an iCloud problem. Apple, are you reading these posts?????
