For some reason, my contacts were not staying synced between MobileMe and my iPhone. I tried to coax the sucker into syncing and now I have two sets of contacts. One labeled "From My Mac" and another from my MobileMe account.

Does anyone know how I can delete one account from my contacts?

If the dups are on your iPhone only - Try turning off sync via the Settings - Mobile Me on your iPhone - let it delete off iPhone - then turn back on.

+1. It should prompt you to overwrite/merge contacts when you do this...and that should take care of it. Good luck!
