How to delete all the contacts(people) ? - Sailfish Troubleshooting Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

Just that simple question.

Go into the People app, go into the desired contact and use the pulley menu. Delete option is located at the top.

That way you can delete only one contact. How can I delete all of them at once ?

Not sure that is supported via the frontend currently, but there may be a solution to mass delete .vcf files via backend in file manager or terminal?

andreibechet

If we know where they are located then one has to delete the whole folder, or am I wrong?

I cant find any .vcf files from the phone if I connect it to computer and try to search the files. There is also problem importing .vcf files from SD to Jolla. You can only import them one by one. Not all of them at once. You really dont want/cant do it.

@finspec

Were your contacts originally synced from eg. google account or other ?

finspec

From SIM-card

@finspec

Ok how many contacts are we talking ?

finspec

About 250

Unfortunately, unless someone can chime in with some kind of terminal command that would work, it may be a case of manually deleting those or wait to see if a solution comes up.

I'll try and spread the word further for a solution and post back if I hear anything. ;-)

.vcf files are used only for TRANSFER. Contacts are stored in some kind of DB.
Is possible IMPORT one or more contacts from .vcf file.

And if you want import more contacts, simply merge/append all .vcf to one file, then import it t Jolla phone. :)

This is the most annoying phone ever made, you just cant do the simplest tasks that should be obvious. If you have to spend hours and days just to get the phone working properly and still cant get it done. YES, Its a BETA. but a lot of normal people wont like to spend so much time and nerves trying to get it work. It's better fishnet weight than a smartphone.

Do I really have to delete over 250 contacts separetly from the phone ?

finspec

Thanks for the help anyway

Howdy, Stranger!
