There are other solutions available but the one we needed was to turn off the verification

we ran

Blackberry: Unable to Delete contact list

I was helping a friend/associate of mine with his CrackBerry. (android insider) We spent hours trying to find a way to delete one of his contact list. You would think this was a easy task. Select list , click delete

NO this was not the case. After 3 wipes of the device and 3-4 restores. The simple fix was to go to contacts, select the list , then click on options, bring up the keyboard and type rset.

A new window will pop up on the phone’s screen, which will ask you if you want to wipe the contacts.

Simply choose YES and go through all windows. You will then be able to wirelessly sync or use Desktop Manager to repopulate contacts.
