WhatsApp still shows deleted contacts
Even I had the same problem. I removed all the contacts from my phone address book but it would still show in my Whatsapp. Finally I figured it, though the phone address too does not show the contacts, if auto sync is on, it will still show. In my Phone, I went to Phonebook &rarr; Open Account settings &rarr; and turned off Auto Sync. That worked. Hope it helps.
