Reverse Synching Samsung A3

[Anonymous]

I just picked up a Samsung A3 from an O2 store. The store synched my accounts and so all my work mobile contacts are now on my personal mobile. How do I reverse this?

I cannot delete a contact without it also deleting from my wpork mobile

The phone will only sync what it's told to sync.
If you remove the work account that it's syncing to, it will stop.

Thanks. I realise that I am being relatively clueless, but I have looked to see how to remove the synched device, without success. Do you know how I could do this?

What account is it getting the contact details from?
Find that in Settings >Accounts and remove it.

Thank you. I have removed this and have deleted work contacts. I can now re-synch without People contacts. Thank you for your help.

Not a problem at all.
Happy to help and welcome
