I did a sync to my smart phone, all the contacts in the cell phone are
default last name first name, when it synced back to outlook it duplicated
all the names example in outlook it originally looked like John Doe, now
it also has Doe John.
My question is I want to delete all my contacts how can I do this with one
key stroke. I have already backed up my contacts the way I want them in a
PST.file

To answer your direct question, select a contact and then press Ctrl+A to
select them all. Press Delete.

However, I agree with Russ that you may be asking for trouble. You could wind
up deleting all the contacts fro the phone as well when you sync. Have you
backed up your phone?
