Delete all contacts on iPad2 how?

[snowbound]

I screwed up the contacts on my iPad2 by syncing the Contacts App with two sources. I disabled that syncing but the contacts app still has the mess of contacts. How do I purge all the contacts on the iPad? I have tried unchecking the Sync Contacts option in iTunes on Windows desktop which indicates that it will delete the contacts on the iPad. Even after syncing the iPad Contacts are still not empty!

You didn't say whether you use iCloud. If so:

On the iPad, go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> iCloud Account. Turn Off Contacts. Delete from my iPad.
