Hej,

please try the following steps:
  - shutdown KAddressBook/Kontact
  - run 'kaddressbookmigrator' on the command line
    (this will copy your contacts from the old location $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
     to the new location $HOME/.local/share/contacts)
  - start KAddressBook again
  - remove the configured address book
  - add a new address book of type 'Personal Contacts'
  - then all contacts should be back and you can modify/delete them again

Thank you very much, I did what you said, and it worked :)

I tried to resolve some my problem by this workaround. As seems, it works. But I met with situation, that not all contact was moved or was latest.
I resolve it by recreating vCard folder source (~/.kde/share/apps/kabc). There remained about 40 contact (originally more then 500). Then I copied these to new "Personal Contacts" (by KAddressBook GUI) and manually resolve duplicity.. :-(
