How do you delete all contacts?

Is there a quick and easy way to delete all of your phone contacts? I looked today but didn't see one.

Deleting external Data

Tel Tel Delete External Data.

A prompt appears asking whether the
data should be deleted.

Select Yes or No.

If you select Yes all personal data are
then deleted from the phone book.

the manual doesn't have the procedure either, just how to delete one by one. Did a reset of the head unit instead.....
