If you’re trying to delete a read-only contact on your Android device and can’t seem to remove it through the usual methods, this video explains exactly why that happens and how to work around it. Read-only contacts are usually synced from external sources like Google, WhatsApp, Facebook, or your SIM card. Because they’re managed by those apps or accounts, you can’t delete them directly from your contacts app without first unlinking or disabling the source.

To get started, open the Contacts app on your Android phone and locate the read-only contact you want to remove. Tap on the contact, then tap the three-dot menu in the upper corner. Look for options like "View linked contacts" or "Manage linked contacts." If you see them, use these options to unlink the contact from its source. Once unlinked, you may be able to delete it directly.

If that option doesn’t appear, another method is to clear your Contacts app cache and data. Long-press the Contacts app icon, tap on "App info," then go to "Storage & cache" and tap "Clear cache" followed by "Clear storage" or "Clear data." This will refresh the app and may remove residual synced data. Be cautious—clearing data might temporarily remove some visible contacts until your accounts resync.

In cases where the contact is synced from accounts like Google or WhatsApp, you’ll need to go into the settings of that specific app or service and delete or disable the contact from there. You can also go to https://contacts.google.com and manage your Google contacts directly from a browser.

Keep in mind that unlinking only detaches the contact from a syncing service; it doesn’t delete it from that service’s servers. For permanent removal, you must delete it from the original account (like Google Contacts).
