Why do my DELETED contacts still show up in my iPhone?

When I go to "new message" and start typing a name it will show a DELETED contact's name. For instance, my friend changed his number. I deleted that contact & made a new one for him. Whenever I go to type a message, the old DELETED contact shows up with his new contact. IT IS So FRUSTRATING.

It's possible that your contacts sync automatically to your network providers storage system via your data connection. This is used for backup purposes. So in case you accidently delete you can restore them. I don't have an iPhone but I have the same issue with my android.

That's exactly what's been going on with my iphone! If you find a solution to this can you please inform me on it?

With ISO click on new message icon. In the new message window type the name of the contact you want to message. A drop down list of recent numbers for that contact appears. To the right of the name or number you'll see the "i" icon. Click that then you'll see the remove option for that contact or number. That will remove that old contact from the recent list.
