Remove backed up contacts then back up....

[dvtrv]

Hi,

Whenever I find myself having to restore my contacts, whether it be as a compkete restore or whatever, I end up with a load of, I mean I mean LOADS of contacts. Many are duplications and many old unused contacts.

How can I remove already backed up contacts then back up as to resolve this issue happening again.

I have an iPhone 5 with all updated ios and same with iTunes.

Please assist.

Thank you,

Dave.
