I ran: sudo apt-get purge evolution

Then I ran: dpkg -l | grep -i evolution

Then I uninstalled all what grep found exclusive evolution-data-server 
and then I uninstalled gnome.

Somehow I managed to get evolution and gnome installed again, but 
evolution with all its data was still there.

Now however the contacts function somehow works when I install new 
contacts?
