iPhone contacts

I have hundreds of multiple contacts in my iphone. To delete them , I went into ICloud and deleted the duplicates. I did this yesterday, and they still appear in my contacts on my iPhone. How do I get my iPhone to synch to my iCloud and delete them ?

iPhone 4s, iOS 9

You might also be using multiple accounts for your contacts. Here's how to check: Use other contact accounts on iPhone - Apple Support
