Deleting contacts on iCloud does not remove them from iPhone I've used iCloud's website to clean up contacts that were imported and the changes work...except - if I delete a contact on the iCloud website it does not get deleted on the iPhone. How can I force the deleted contacts on iCloud to be removed from the iPhone?
It appears that the contacts that were not being deleted were linked to Google and Yahoo accounts. The data from them were imported to iCloud. I'm pretty sure iCloud was deleting the contacts from the iPhone that I deleted on the website/desktop. I went in to Settings, Accounts and disabled showing the contacts for Google and Yahoo and all the trashy contacts disappeared.
