Hello konzaprarie,
Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you have one note that has info you want to move to individual notes, as well as an issue deleting a note in the Notes app on your iPhone. First, to help resolve your issue with the note not deleting, please force close the Notes app and then restart your iPhone as the shut down and start up process is important to keep the iOS software running properly. iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on.
Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
To move certain info from one note to another, you should be able to highlight that info, copy and then paste into the new note, and here is how to do that:
Select text. Tap the insertion point to display the selection options. Or double-tap a word to select it. Drag the grab points to select more or less text. In read-only documents, such as webpages, touch and hold to select a word.
You can cut, copy, or paste over selected text. With Universal Clipboard, you can also cut or copy something on one Apple device, and paste it on another.
With some apps, you can also get bold, italic, or underlined text (tap B/I/U); see suggestions in Look Up; or have iPhone suggest an alternative. Tap 
to see all the options. If you choose Look Up, you see suggested information from the web and different apps. To turn off Suggestions in Look Up, go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
3D Touch. To turn your keyboard into a trackpad, press the keyboard until it turns light gray. Move the cursor by dragging around the keyboard. Without lifting your finger, press a little deeper to select a word. Press twice to select a sentence. Press three times to select a paragraph. After pressing, you can drag to select more text. See 3D Touch.
