I have ~ 900 contacts many of which are mutiples,

My issues is my phone has been rather slow/laggy and i fear it is because of this.
However, in my day i do not have that time to individually delete each one. and if i try to do it through GMAIL I have to individually delete each person also.

Is their and app, or a file location on the android where i can go through and select and delete these through my computer.
or am i destined to sit here for hours and comb through this rampant contact list.

Thanks!

You can do multiple contact deletion easily on your computer by logging into your account at Gmail.com. Open your contacts, put a check in the box on the left of those you want to delete, go to 'More' in the toolbar above and select 'Delete' from the drop-down menu.

Your contacts list is probably not what's slowing down your phone though.

But as soon as he signs back on to his Gmail account, all the contacts are re-synced.

To the OP: What you can do is go into Gmail, export your contacts. It'll save a file on your computer. You can then open that file in excel and delete the repeat contacts that way. Then save and import the contact list.
