Deleting old email addresses

Why is it so difficult to delete old, unwanted email addresses from my iPads contacts list? It must be possible, so how do I do this please?

iPad 2, iOS 9

I was using contacts. Not being very knowledgeable I could not see how to move on from there.

However I asked a more knowledgeable friend who said (and she showed me) that you open contacts in settings, tap a name,then scroll down through all the info until you reach the unwanted email address, then you have an option to delete.

Thank you for trying to help, it is much appreciated .
