I spend a considerable amount of time trying to find a solution for Nextcloud. I ended up spending an hour deleting and merging contacts.

I’m also interested in this. After moving my contacts 3 times in a vcs in the ladt yeard it is an absolute mess…

Churbleyimyam OP ,

Yeah, after importing contacts back and forth between my android phone and Thunderbird I’m in the same boat. Trying to avoid manually selecting the 400 or so duplicates to delete them… The duplicates aren’t visibly listed in my phone’s app but when I export a .vcf file from it and open it in Thunderbird or Gnome Contacts they are. I’m surprised that my desktop apps don’t have something inbuilt to deal with this.

I tried to do this manually on my phone, but no chance. The contacts randomly split or merge, then another telegram account pops up, the next contact is protected and therefore cannot be removed but only be hidden. Some contacts are not on DEVICE, so messaging apps cannot access them etc.

If you find a solution to sanitize vcfs let me know. I guess one day I write all the numbers onto a piece of paper and start from scratch.

Btw. I’m not sure if this community is the best place for this.
