Hello contacts_101,
Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article that was linked to your posting which can help with this issue: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad. Follow this guidance to delete:
"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:
- Open Contacts and tap the contact that you want to delete.
- Tap Edit.
- Scroll Down and tap Delete Contact then tap Delete Contact again to confirm."
If you are asking how to delete multiple contacts all at once, there is not a way to do so on your iPhone, but you can select multiple Contacts on the iCloud website through a browser and delete them that way. Learn more here: Create or edit contacts in Contacts on iCloud.com.
Take care.
