Is there a way in Jolla UI to delete all of the contacts in People application without reseting the whole phone?

1. stop service:

systemctl --user stop contactsd.service

2. remove contacts:

devel-su --privileged rm -rf /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/*

3. Open People app:

systemctl --user start contactsd.service

Currently the Jolla UI is lacking the utility for deleting all contacts from People application.

It can, however, be done using SSH or the Finger terminal (both of them require that you enable the developer mode first). Be careful not to delete anything unintended.

devel-su
rm -rf /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/*
