I've checked online and in the forum and force stopping, deleting data and clearing cache, unlinking accounts won't work.
I also can not simply delete them. Any help would be great. Its not a massive inconvenience but a wee bit annoying

@Albo_underhill Settings - apps, tap on 3 dots, scroll down to contacts storage. There, you can find the storage tab, tap on it and clear data. This will erase your locally stored contacts.

Did you have a backup of your contacts or somewhere to sync them back?

Hi @Albo_underhill,
Welcome to the community.
I am sorry to see that you lost all your contacts. Did you happen to have a Google account set up in your phone?
If so, go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Your gmail address > 3 dots > Sync Now. This should retrieve any contacts that were synced with your gmail account, which would have been turned on by default. I hope this helps.

After following the first comment all my contacts were gone but I had messages on my phone and whatsapp from anyone I might need to contact anyway.... BUT.... I couldn't save the contacts to my address book.
So I synced with my Google again to get my back up but all I got was the 100+ contacts I tried to get rid of in the beginning.
I feel like I'm missing something really obvious but I'm currently in bed ill for the last few days and my brain just isn't what it sound be

@Albo_underhill I am sorry to hear this, hope all the best.
When I said locally stored contacts, I forgot to mention you should also back up what you have because I thought you realized that's what should be done.
Can you check if there are other filters to set in contacts app?
