Remove hyperlink in contacts notes field

After inadvertently pasting a hyperlink into the Notes field in the iPhone Contacts app, i can’t delete it because any way that I try to select it, I am instead sent to the link within Google Maps. I want to delete what is currently contained in the Notes field of the Contacts app for iPhone (iOS 16). Every time I tap, or tap & hold, so that I can delete it, it instantly follows the hyperlink. How can I delete it?

iPhone 8, iOS 16

How to protect note titles from accidental deletion (notes on iPhone)? I find that when I am deleting a number of items (typically in a grocery list) that the iPhone goes into word delete from character delete mode sometimes when I am not expecting it so goes much faster and on numerous occasions this has caused me to accidentally delete the title of the note. Is there a way to either disable the transition from character delete to word delete so it will be slower protect a piece of a note (the title in this case) so an extra step would be needed to delete it?
