Hey, I have my work email on my phone. Unfortunately it synced all of my work contacts as well which I do not want. I turned off sync for contacts but they are still there. Can I just delete these contacts now? I am worried about losing my work contacts from my desktop Outlook.

Logically, you can delete the contacts from your phone after turn off contact sync.
However, couple things you can do before you delete contact.
- Export your Outlook data to PST on your computer ( In case you screw up, you still able to import data back).
- After backup, delete 1 contact. check your Outlook contact and see if it got deleted or not. If Outlook contact not deleted, you are sure you can delete your phone contacts.

Galaxy SHi SpicyMike,
Welcome to the Samsung Members Community. Please follow the steps mentioned by Tallman,
and make sure to "Export your Outlook data to PST on your computer ( In case you screw up, you still able to import data back)." and after that turn off the sync option and try to delete the one contact and verify. as mentioned by Tallman.
Thank you Tallman, for sharing the information.

Can you see those work contacts now under contacts.google.com? If they are there, you can go to that website and click on undo changes, then revert back to a day just before the work sync happened.
