I just got a new iphone 6 with the lastest update. There are all kinds of contacts on there that I am not familiar with. How do I delete them? I looked under the individual contacts using edit. There used to be a great big red Delete Contact button, but not anymore. Can anyone tell me how to delete these? Thank you for your time.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1
Put your finger to the right and slide to the left and a red "delete" options should appear. Before doing this, make sure that you don't share iCloud account with another family member or so since this may cause issues for them since the contacts will be deleted for them as well.

Select a contact, tap Edit at top right, scroll all the way to the bottom and tap "Delete Contact."

Simple deletion will not completely erase data from iPhone, it still be recoverable. I suggest you try porofessional data wiper tool - Safewiper iOS Data Eraser, it can completely erase everything from iPhone without recovery:

Does it can erase text messages from iPhone 5? I need to erase my text and want to make them unrecoverable. How?
ON iPhone 6 there is no "Delete Contact" option in edit mode. iOS v. 9.3.3

On iPhone 6, iOS v. 9.3.3, the red "delete" option is only available for individual fields, not to delete the entire contact.
I had the same problem, and found out here (How do you delete a contact if there is no "Delete" button in iOS 7?) that the reason I did not have a "Delete Contact" option was because of the Facebook app. The contacts I wanted to delete were FB Friends - worthless contact information for the most part. The link above tells you how to turn of FB contacts - which I guess are automatically added with the installation of the FB app (the instructions apply equally through iOS 9.3.3). It's too bad the FB app is allowed such all-or-nothing control of Contacts. If you have some FB friends you want in your Contacts, you will have to add them manually.
I followed the steps you laid out, but the deletion failed because 'one or more of my contacts was 'read only'. Can anyone suggest why this happened?
This does not work on my iPhone 6s. Any more suggestions?
