Prevent work and private email contacts from crossing over?
On my iPad and iPhone I normally use gmail. It is always enabled.
I also have my work's exchange account setup on my iOS devices. I usually have the mail disabled because I don't want to see work emails in my free time, but sometimes I do have a look.
Now I have the problem that even when I have my exchange mail turned off, I can still see all of my work contacts. When I start typing an email address it starts automatically predicting work addresses as well as my private ones.
How do I stop this before I do something really really stupid?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Exchange
Set Contacts to OFF.
Still see all my work contacts when I start writing an email
In that same settings area, completely remove your exchange email from your phone by pressing the 'delete account' button (make sure you remember your settings to set it up again later). If your work contacts are still there, you may have merged them into your personal account.
