I made the mistake of authorizing LinkedIn to fetch contacts from my Gmail account ages ago - atleast 4-5 years back. If you are like me, here is a link to delete the contacts that you have not explicitly added on LinkedIn:

http://www.linkedin.com/people/contacts?sortAction=lastName&...

I had to raise a support ticket to find this link.

Wow. LinkedIn sure made sure that's difficult.

You have to go through every damn letter of the alphabet, and click like 4 different buttons, and wait for 2 page refreshes for each letter. Half the time it doesn't work and you have to refresh the page and try again.

I've gotten through "L" and now their server is giving me errors.

Thank you for this link... I didn't know linkedin had ALL my contacts. And I don't remember linking it to my gmail account at all! Removed all (530) of them manually. (selecting all give an error).
Does that link actually work for you? Mine just spins and spins.
