I understand your frustration with not being able to delete a contact on your iPhone. To start, I would recommend restarting your iPhone to see if that helps. If not, double-check to make sure the contact is not synced with an app like iCloud or Google contacts. If it is, make sure you’ve enabled access for the app. If it’s still not allowing you to delete the contact, try resetting the network settings on your phone which can be found in the Settings > General > Reset menu. If that still doesn’t work, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
