iPhone finding deleted addresses when syncing Outlook address book.

[Michael Cooper]

Before syncing my iPhone for the very first time with my Outlook contacts I deleted all of my old Outlook contacts so they wouldn't clutter my iPhone. The process went smoothly except the iPhone found and synced all of my current and deleted contacts. How can I prevent the iPhone from "finding" my deleted contacts? Thanks in advance for your help and interest.

Sometimes that happens on the first sync. Take the time to delete the contacts off both the phone and outlook and you should be ok.

Thanks for your response. I have found out that you not only need to delete the contacts in Outlook but you then have to delete the contacts in your deleted folder. Once this is done you can sync the iPhone and you'll be up todate. Thanks for your help.
