I know the heading sounds a bit funny but I downloaded yahoo messenger for my phone and I didnt like it so I deleted the app but the contacts apparently stayed on the phone even after it was deleted but they dont show up on my contacts list but only when I go to dial a number then the yahoo ID pops up if the number im dialing is similar to the contact. How do I delete these off my phone?

Have you rebooted since removing the app? If so, one thing you could try is to reinstall app and see if it has a way of blocking the contacts sync - it might then delete the currently synced contacts.

Another option after reinstalling it would be to go to settings --> applications and pressing clear cache and / or clear data buttons.
