Hi Paul,

Whether using a keyboard or the touch screen is immaterial, so that likely 
wouldn't help.  I suggest that you turn off iCloud syncing on the iPhone, and 
when it asks you if you wish to keep the contacts or remove them from this 
iPhone, remove them.  This will not affect your contacts as they will still 
remain in iCloud, just be deleted from the iPhone.  After this has completed, 
you should either have no contacts at all on the iPhone, or just that one 
persistent little fart.  If it remained on your iPhone, try deleting it now 
that things are not syncing and it may be more cooperative.  After deleting, 
back out of Contacts, then restart your iPhone.  Open the Contacts app and see 
if it returns or if we had luck this time.  If it is gone, then you can go back 
into Settings, iCloud and turn on the syncing of iCloud Contacts.  This should 
bring back all your iCloud contacts and life should be good.  Let me know if 
you have success.

Later...

Hello Tim,
Many thanks for your reply. Contacts are set on in iCloud on my iPhone but the 
contact I cannot delete is not synced. Other contacts are synced.  Possibly 
significant is that this is a 10 year old contact which has been migrated over 
3 iPhones and numerous levels of IOS. I want to delete it as the person died 
some time ago.
Could I do anything useful with a bluetooth keyboard?
Many thanks for your many helpful contributions to macvisionaries…. Paul
