You'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete the contact. Tap "Delete Contact" again to confirm, and the contact will be deleted from your list.

Using Recent Calls
You can also delete contacts from your iPhone using the Recent Calls list. To do this, open the Phone app and tap the "Recents" tab. Scroll through the list until you find the contact that you want to delete, then tap the "i" icon next to it. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the "Delete from Recents" button. You'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete the contact. Tap "Delete Contact" again to confirm, and the contact will be removed from your list.
