How to delete contact from iPhone?

I deleted it but somehow it's stored in my phone somewhere cause if I go start a new text message and type the first letter of someone name their number shows

Restart your phone

It's using a previous message with that name in it to do the searching. When you start typing the name, does just the number come up or the name and number? If the number comes up, the name is no longer stored. If the name comes up, go to your contact, hit "edit." then scroll down to "delete contact."

In your address/contact book click on the persons name and then click
on Options and you can delete them from there.
Have a good day
