Even when editing am unable to find a delete contact button on the phone app, on iphone 15 Pro Max, leaving me unable to get rid of contacts that are no longer useful. Very frustrating and curious if anyone has a solution

You may set Screen Time Restrictions to ON with a passcode. Double Check the following:
Open Settings ➡️ Screen Time ➡️ Communication Limits ➡️ Allow Contacts Editing: Ensure that this switch is set to ON.

Troubleshooting Contact Deletion:
Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:
Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings on both your iPhone and your Mac. Then delete it on the Mac. Once deleted, disable Contacts in iCloud Settings, and see if it no longer pops up. If so, then it is gone amongst all devices associated to your Apple ID.
A. Enabling Contacts on an iPhone:
Enable Contacts in iCloud:
and...
B. Enabling Contacts on a Mac:
Is Contacts enabled in Apple ID on your Mac? If not, enable it.
Where might those contacts be housed? (Settings > Apps > Contacts > Accounts)
Hopefully there is exactly one account shown there capable of housing contacts.
Apple does not provide a method to share contacts using Family Sharing. Therefore, your “Family” account shown is provided by some external source linked to some email service provider you use. You may delete all entries on your iPhone associated with that account by doing Settings > Apps > Contacts > Accounts > “Family” > Delete Account.
Was able to delete contact after a 24 hour period of having created it. Not sure if the time interval was the operational factor or not, but delete button showed up. Still think it's kind of odd. thanks for your help
There are two entries in terms of Accounts that I can see. One for myself, one for Family. Would having two entries under Settings block the ability to delete accounts? If so, how do I eliminate the Family setting to allow that? Thanks
This is what is so puzzling to me. I activate Edit on the Contacts page but, there is no option to Delete contact at the bottom of the page. There is no option to eliminate the entry
Glad you got it resolved.
Enjoy your Apple gear.
At the contacts search list, press on the contact name that you wanted to delete. You will see the delete contact option.
