Why do my deleted contacts keep coming back on TECNO? Deleted contacts may keep reappearing on TECNO phones because they are still synced with an account like Google or TECNO Cloud. Cached data in the Contacts app can also make deleted contacts appear temporarily. To fix this, clear the app cache, check your sync settings, and ensure contacts are fully deleted from all linked accounts.
