Bulk deleting of contacts in COMAND?

Hello, all. I'm about to say goodbye to my 2004 S211 Wagon. She's been steadfast but it's time to move on. (Don't worry, it's getting replaced with a 2020 E-wagon )

I don't think this is possible, but perhaps I'm just thick. Is there a way to bulk delete all of my phone contacts in the COMAND unit? Years ago I retrofitted the COMAND unit into the vehicle and added the near-mythical puck-with-tail bluetooth unit.

I'm not seeing it, but thought I'd double-check. There's a ton in there and deleting one at a time is somewhat tedious.

Thanks in advance for any help!

(Sorry for the oversized pictures...)

Will deleting your phone not delete everything about your phone? I may be wrong but I thought the COMAND system depends on the phone - each time - for the contact list.

I'm not aware of any option to delete a phone in this version of COMAND software.

How about just resetting the radio to factory settings? How to is in the COMAND manual and it's available online at Mercedes Benz if you don't have a hard copy.
Hit the SERV key then the RESET soft key.

^ Thanks, all. I had hard copy and PDF! My car is now entirely emptied for trading in.

I had originally thought that was for more erasing more general "system" settings. If one chooses this, you lose everything, including saved navigation destinations. Just a heads-up for the curious!
