now 4 months ago sprint had me back my contact info up on my samsung transform to my google account (was doing troubleshooting) so question is how do i check whats backed up to the google account and how do i delete things that are there and keep it from syncing to my phone?

Turn off syncing from the phone. If you can access google contacts from a computer it may be a good place to start. Look thru the contacts and delete those you do not want. Once that is done, turn syncing on again.

What I've found out, since I'm fairly new with android also, is the best way to save contacts is is choose the googlel contacts and not the phone or sim card. They sync better and you can access them from any device or computer.

I hope this helps.

If the contacts were backed up you should probably find out which app backed them up, because if it was Google they will be saved on your Gmail under Contacts...

Otherwise you could always try a restore app, if you already used one, you should use that same app to restore those contacts.

I just started using Clickfree to backup & restore my data, which include photos, bookmarks, contacts etc. You get the chance to choose what to backup. It also let you choose where to backup the info, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or it show This Device meaning the phone. I'm not sure if it means the internal memory or an ext. sdcard

It won't hurt to download it and check it out.

If your contacts are not showing in gmail, then when you save contacts on the phone, you probably not saving them in Google format. When you choose to save a new contact, you should get options where to 'save contact to'.

Hope this helps.
