The Best Way to Permanently Delete Contacts from iPhone (iPhone 6s Plus Included)

Usually, people delete iPhone contact in this way: go to “Contact” application, locate the contact that you want to remove, touch the contact to open details, tap “Edit” on the top right-hand corner, scroll down to the bottom of the detail page and there tap “Delete Contact” to remove the contact immediately. However, this method can’t delete iPhone contacts permanently. Let’s see an example:

How can I PERMANENTLY delete contacts from my iPhone? I’ve tried contact—>edit—>delete and it takes it off the main contacts list, but every time I begin to type in a name to start a text message that starts with the first letter in either of those person’s first names their whole contact shows up… That makes me crazy. Is there a way to let me delete the contact of iPhone forever?

To delete contacts on iPhone permanently, you’d better to get a powerful and professional tool to complete the task.

How to Permanently Remove iPhone Contacts?

And here I strongly recommend this iPhone Data Eraser (for Windows, for Mac) to help you delete the contacts from iPhone with a few clicks. It also can erase deleted messages, your cache, browsing history, junk applications and files in order to protect your private information when selling, recycling or donating your old device. It does not only play an important role in removing data from the series of iPhone, but also the same to Android mobile devices like Samsung Galaxy, Sony, LG, etc.

Download and install the iPhone Data Eraser depending on your operating system, for example, get the Windows trial version if your OS is Windows 10 or earlier.

Step 1 Connect your iPhone with computer. After launch the program, just connect your device to computer via USB cable.

Step 2 In the primary window, click “Erase Deleted Files” button to activate the program and it will start scanning the device automatically.

Step 3 The program will list all the deleted files when the scanning process is done. Then check the corresponding file types with the details to ensure the contacts are exactly what you want to delete permanently.

Step 4 In this step, just click “Erase Now” and the program will do the rest of the work itself. After a few seconds, a window will pop up to tell you the contacts are “successfully erased”.
