Hey there bbsusieq,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you've accidentally deleted a contact. Is that correct? We're happy to help.


It's a great article that you referenced with If you accidentally deleted your calendars, bookmarks, or contacts from iCloud

If that article doesn't help, may you can locate a backup that contains the recently deleted contact: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


That should help. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
