Here is a sample code to do the same:

- (void)delAllContacts {
    ABAddressBookRef addressBook = CFBridgingRetain((__bridge id)(ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL)));
    int count = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBook);
    if(count==0 && addressBook!=NULL) { //If there are no contacts, don't delete
        CFRelease(addressBook);
        return;
    }
    //Get all contacts and store it in a CFArrayRef
    CFArrayRef theArray = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
    for(CFIndex i=0;i
