Hello dimes0615,


We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. This section explains deleting:


"Delete a contact

When you delete a contact, it permanently deletes it from your device. If you delete a contact from your email account, you also permanently delete the contact from all devices signed into that email account.

To delete a contact:

      1. Open Contacts and tap the contact that you want to delete.
      2. Tap Edit.
      3. Scroll Down and tap Delete Contact then tap Delete Contact again to confirm."



If you would like to see a change in how deleting Contacts on your iPhone works, you can certainly leave feedback on that functionality. No one is better qualified to provide feedback about Apple products and services than the people who use them. The following link will get you started: Product Feedback.



We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
