I have the same problem on Sony XA2 / latest SailfishOS 5. I have imported (unintentionaly) contacs from NextCloud. I removed accout for NextCloud, but contacts still exists, they are grayed out and cannot be edited or deleted.

I use contacts-tool to find IDs of this strange contacts and then try the same tool to delete it. Using devel-su, no error reported, but the contacts have not been deleted.

Hi. It seems that contacts-tool work on a “read-only” database of contacts. https://together.jolla.com/question/73377/contacts-not-visible-in-contacts-app-after-import-via-cli/

I search to use contacts-tool without devel-su (just for read) but it not work. An idea ?
