How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

Same as iOS 6.

Open the Contacts app > Select a contact > Edit > tap the label name > Add custom label

Sorry, I don't know of any way to delete a custom label once it is created in iOS 7. If you don't need it simply don't use it.

Yes! I need help with the same issue! I do not like iOS7 so far...it's been slow and confusing...and I'm pretty quick at learning new software...this is annoying. No one I've talked to so far likes the new software either!

Considering it was able to be done in iOS 6, it does seem like an oversight.

You can leave Apple your feedback here.

I had installer True caller on my iPhone 4 and now when I have deleted the App then also there are many custom labels appearing in my contacts, i want to delete them but I am unable to do so, what should I do???

As far as I know, there is nothing you can do but ignore them.

I am not aware of way of deleting custom labels in iOS 7.

Apple may or may not address this in future updates.

I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.

IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.

IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.

But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.

I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.

I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.
