Hi
I am in hell with my Wizard right now.
Whenever I create a partnership and sync I get all my contacts and calendar events duplicated.
As I have over 300 contacts and 1500 calendar events I do not want to delete them one by one.
Can anyone tell me what files to delete on the wizard to remove all these items?
Also would be useful to remove all the email on the wizard.
I am hoping if I can do this and sync I won't get duplicates.
Otherwise it is a hard reset and reload all my software and changes, don't really want to do this unless I have no choice.
Cheers.

I believe you can find pim.vol in the 'MyDevice' folder and delete that (or move it memory card in case its wrong). I'm not sure about the emails though, although you can use SPB Backup and then restore only your emails later.
BRILLIANT.
Many thanks that seems to have done the trick.
I really did not want to have to hard reset you have saved me loads of time and effort.

I'm sorry if there was any mention of this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it.
But what happened this afternoon was kinda troubling. I've just bought my HTC Hero, two days ago. I've synced it with outlook with 700 something contacts. And all was fine. There was some trouble with syncing, but all contacts were transferred to phone memory.
When out of a blue, this afternoon, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all contacts simply vanished. Calendar was still intact, txts as well, all fine but the contacts.
When I came home, I tried to sync it again but it just synced two calendar notes. It synced as if all contacts were on the phone, but they were not. So I've managed to restore them by over-riding phone with PC.
Can anyone explain this? How do I know this won't happen again?
I'm using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 as well as the latest edition of HTC Sync.
(maybe relevant, maybe not, I've managed to hopefully resolve the before mentioned troublesome connection when syncing by manually installing drivers for Windows 7)
Thank you. I hope I was clear.
Probaby an obvious one but if you go into Contacts=>Menu=>View have you accidentally unchecked the set contacts you want to show ?
I'm having the same problem, but running Windows XP w/ Outlook 2007 instead.
First time was using stock ROM. One day all my contacts disappeared (phone and google contacts). The phone contacts I retrieved by forcing HTC Sync to overwrite my phone's data with my PC's. The google contacts I retrieved by doing a factory reset and setting up my google account again.
Then I installed MCR 2.6, and again my contacts disappeared, but this time only the phone contacts (the google contacts remained).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The same problem, twice.
Both time I had this problem when I sent a message.
I think this should be a problem of the ROM-version, and I hope the next ROM will fix it.
I've been trying to figure this out forever.
Every once in a while my phone contacts will vanish, but the Google contacts always remain.
I've tried turning off synchronization for Google contacts and it seems that my phone contacts have stopped vanishing for now. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Simply migrate you contacts to google. Its very easy. Quite why anyone struggles with Outlook on Android is a mystery. I was Outlook mad pre the Hero, now everything is migrated to googlemail/google calendar/google contacts.
No USB connecting nonsense for updates, all over the air, 2 way sync. Much better than outlook ever was.
ok i read alot of the threads on here about syncing problems with gmail. but this is a bit different. i just did a complete fresh wipe/install of cyanogen's newest rom (i didnt think to backup all my contacts ) and i went to sync my contacts back to my phone and i realized that every one of my contacts are gone from my gmail account. every single one. does anybody know how to get them back or how to prevent this in the future? please help meee i need my contacts :/
alright my phone has been acting crazy stupid it won't let me sync my facebook contacts. Also I noticed google didn't sync all my contacts. So I went and deleted all of them by going to clear contacts under applications after that I went back and sync my gmail up noticed I needed to add some more so I decided to input them my self. Now when I press the+ button it gives me the message can't add contact no active account. If I do a factory reset will it mess with my webtop mod or brick my phone any help will be greatly appreciated
I have updated my phone to ICS and i used sprite backup to restore the contacts which works fine. After restart all but 2 contacts disappear but the texts and all the calls made are still there. If i use sprite to restore contacts they are there again. But after restart they disappear, i have tried 2 different ICS roms and have the same issue.
Turn off contact sync with your gmail account (and check your contacts on it with your browser on PC...maybe there is something messed up) and try again...should solve your issue.
i skipped setup of google when i installed the rom, i personally do not use my google account on my android phones
I have the same problem. I think it is from the rom. Ifter i sync everything is back to normal. Maybe the problem is when if it can`t get connection and can`t sync normaly its clearing the contacts and the call history.
