Yes there is. If you choose the option to delete all contacts from phone (not by manually selecting them). Inside the contacts menu, click on the title bar at the top. Then click on the settings option. In here there is an option to delete all contacts from device.

This will NOT remove the emails from the server, nor will it remove the ones that are merged (i.e. it will remove the part of the contact on the device, but it will leave the part on the server).
