Deleting old contacts

[Yuki_kristine]

I recently went through my contacts and deleted a bunch of old contacts. When my phone went through it's monthly backup, all of the contacts I deleted came back onto my phone? How do I get rid of those contacts and off of my backup???

Sign into iCloud and click contacts and delete all your old ones.  The changes will propagate to your iOS devices.
