How do you delete the Contact history in the Droid X

[zombieguy]

does anyone know of any way to delete the contact history, it displays all the history from phone calls to text messages, even after you delete the conversation of a text, its still displayed in the history, it also displays all facebook history and old messages, how do you delete this out of the phone??

This is the same issue I am wanting to figure out my self, after finding this slide screen by accident?

1. Open Phone

2. Goto Recent Tab

3. Click far left button to display menu

4. Select Clear List

5. Click Clear from option menu

All will recents will be cleared after this...

reent tab??? there is no recent tab?? do u have droid x or just a droid??? The closest thing I found to a recents tab is a recents folder. If you touch the screen and hold it a "add to home screen" menu pops up and there is a "recents" folder but even when bringing up the menu there is no clear button just, add, search, notificadtion, wallpaper, settings, nothing anywhere to clear the history list

On my Dorid X there is a "Recent" tab at the top.  This was a useful solution for me and I only knew how to delete individually.

Wildman is talking about the "Dialer" screen, not one of your home screens. There are 4 tabs at the top, Dialer, Recent, Contacts, & Favorites.

thats for recent calls...what I am talkin about is the contact list...there are 3 swipe windows when you call up the contact list, its starts off in the middle displaying your contcts, swipe to the right and it shows social networking updates, swipe all the to the left and it has contact history which shows all the history for your contacts, whether its phone calls, texts, facebook updates, facebook messages, everything for every contact, I have facebook messages from months ago that come up because its linked to facebook. Even when you text and delete the conversation, it still displays all the texts in the history for that contact, I want that deleted out and there is no way to do it.

When you're on the screen you 're talking about, if you press the menu button (bottom left) that brings up a "Delete" button.  Is this what you're asking?

I don't see a way to do it either..this is a SERIOUS flaw in my opinion. Complete privacy failure.

The discussion is about when you touch contacts and then slide to the left it says contacts history. It seems that you can't delete them. If you try it will delete the contact
