Help unlink/remove duplicate contacts

[smfoley1]

how do I get rid of duplicate contacts? For instance when I go into my contacts some contacts have 2 or more entries in the list while some others have one entry but when I go to say send a text message the contacts number may show up more than once even though they are only listed in contacts once.

Go to.... Contacts > Menu (hamburger 3 lines) > Manage contacts... see screenshot

From here you can Merge, Delete, duplicate contacts.
