How to Erase All Contacts on a G1

Erase all of your contents from your Android G1 cell phone.

Whether you're switching over to a new cell phone or need to wipe out all of the contacts within your T-Mobile Android G1 cell phone, it may seem like a daunting task. There are a few ways to go about erasing all of the contacts from your Android G1 cell phone. Here are a few different options when it comes to wiping out all of the contacts stored on your phone.

Instructions

1. Remove each contact manually. If you do not have many contacts on your T-mobile Android G1 smart phone, you can go through the interface and manually select each contact to delete them. This can be time consuming, especially if you have a lot of contacts to erase from the phone, but if you don't have too many, this may be your easiest, fastest option for removal.

2. Sign in to your Gmail account and delete your contacts. When you sync your phone again, it will remove the contacts from your phone if they are no longer stored on your Gmail account.

3. Download an application from the Android Application Market. There are several applications out there that can complete this for you, such as "Delete Contacts," "Contact Remover," or "Remove Contacts."

4. To clear all the data from your phone through the G1 interface, you can also go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. From here, click the tab labeled "All," scroll down to "Contacts Storage" and press and hold it. Select "Clear Data."
