How to get rid of contact zombies

In the contact app I keep seeing old telephone number that I have deleted long time ago.
When I switch to edit mode I only see the current numbers but when browsing or searching for a contact in the phone app or the messaging app it keeps showing all that old garbage again and if one isn't super cautious it's easy to pick the wrong, outdated number.
This is mighty annoying! How can one force the contact app to clean out these outdated data?
