In the current version of iOS, there's unfortunately no simple way to swipe and delete a bunch of contacts at once.
Let's face it, you probably don't need your old Intro to Chemistry study buddy's cell number in your phone anymore.or the digits of that guy you did Jäger bombs with six months ago (Didn't you walk home with one shoe that night?). And while you may remember to clear your homescreen of the apps you haven't touched in six months, or archive those emails for inbox zero, there's one part of your digital life you may neglect to prune: your contacts list. No, not time for your annual physical, although that's probably a good idea too.
