How to delete a contact from iPhone 4 iOS 7?

I need help I want to delete a contact but I'm not sure how. I tried what everybody said "click on the contact you want to delete, then scroll to the bottom and it should say delete contact" but it doesn't say that.

Click on the contact-press edit at the top-scroll to the bottom

There may be other ways if you use iTunes or a Mac however I don't know much about that so here are the two possible ways using just your phone itself:

If it is a contact that has been synced from a Facebook or a different app then the only what to delete it is by clicking 'Groups' on the top left of the list of all contacts then untick the group from which the contact was synced. However this will remove All contacts in this group. You can't delete an individual from a group synced contact from your phone.

If it is a contact that you have added manually to your phone you should be able to tap the contact name then tap edit in the top right corner and scroll down and click the delete button if it isn't there then you're probably clicking the wrong things.
Hope this helps.

You have to tap edit in the top right before scrolling down.
