Revision history [back]

I accidentally imported almost 10000 vCards, which works OK but results in a rather unwieldy contacts list.

I then removed all contacts using sqlite3:

# sqlite3 /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db
> DELETE from Contacts # DON'T do this!

This is not a good idea: contactsd and voicecall-ui started to use a lot of processor time (also afer reboot), and the Contacts app became very unresponsive

Renaming (or removing) the directory qtcontacts-sqlite solved the problem without any apparent negative consequences - the directory and the (empty) database files are instantly re-made

This is how I did it:

[nemo@jolla] > devel-su
Password: 
[root@jolla] > cd /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts
[root@jolla] > mv qtcontacts-sqlite qtcontacts-sqlite.backup # move but keep backup

This removes all Contacts, if you want to remove many but not all the best way would be to use the original contacts.db to construct a list of vCards, edit that list by hand, remove all contacts, and then import the list of vCards (by moving it to ~/Downloads . I'll try to post a perl script that translates contacts.db into a list of vCards once I get some time.
