“See you later.”
“Not if I see you first!”
That’s why I don’t delete contacts. I have a special voicemail black hole for the people I’m making a point to forget.
The last few died.
Yeah, same here. But I still have all my work contacts from a company I haven’t worked for since 2017.

I clean it up every few years. People who don’t chat or answer eventually get deleted. The past is the past.
Earlier this summer. I was cleaning my whole contact list out, removing duplicates, using it to remember folks I would like to catch up with. I’ve managed to keep my contacts list migrating from my first Nokia brick phone I shared with siblings about 20 years ago, so it was full of a lot of crap.
“Ginger, really good at math” is one contact I deleted. Was it Ginger the name or ginger the hair color? Was it a classmate or someone who was killer at splitting up a restaurant party bill? Idk, I have no recollection so out they go. So does “Stay Away from Steve” and “Another Mike, red ball cap” and “Good dancer Jess”. “Shouty Shorty” remains because she’s still my friend who is short and very loud.
Yup, this is a very lemmy answer. Me too. My replacent KaOS flip phone couldn’t fit everything, so I just deleted a bunch of old contacts.
Other than that, things stck around because I might want to call someone or–just as importantly–avoid answering the phone if they call.
I periodically clean things up. Getting older means removing dead people at an accelerating pace :/
Started hosting my own Radicale instance a while back and cleaned up my contact list when I made the transition.
Trump supporters that were friends/family of mine are dead to me like Juanito. Don’t need that derangement in my life. Nothing admirable about Trump. A lot of contracts were deleted. Fuk em
The contacts I last removed were some classmates and school contacts of my daughter, who just finished university…
Keep in nind that Meta and Google know your phone number, address, birthday, etc because your friends keep you in their contact list.
I moved. No longer needed the details of local businesses.
Thanks for the reminder. I just wiped 110 contacts.
Three had passed away. Many were colleagues from over 20 years ago. A lot were army buddies from over 25 years ago. Some ex-partners of friends. Too many fast-food places from cities I haven’t lived in in forever.
number taken over by a spammer. but i still have backups of old version of my contacts list.
I needed to stop calling her. 😥
Got a new sim last week. Had some numbers stored on the old sim. I saved a few, but didn’t bother relocating most of them. That’s the same as deleting them, right?
I do it periodically. My phone contacts are restricted to friends I speak to frequently, family, certain work contacts and a limit of 3 people I don’t really talk to anymore but am leaving the door open for.
