Help Messaging Contacts different than phone contacts?

When I first got my phone, I chose to sync my contacts with pretty much everything - GMail, Facebook, whatever. Of course, this resulted in me having literally thousands of contacts! Ugh.

So today I deleted ALL the contacts, and just manually added in the 20 or so people I need to reach on a regular basis. Better!

But that's in my phone.

When I go into Messaging, and click the little envelope to select a person to message, I see all those thousands of contacts I used to have?

How come they still show up in Messaging when I deleted them all? I re-checked my phone contacts and it's correct, it didn't re-synch or anything like that.

I'm so confused.
