Hello @Poppysmum

If you go to your contacts section of your phone where you have saved people's numbers. If you delete the person from there the contact will soon delete from WhatsApp.

WhatsApp just replicates your phone contacts and Facebook friends so you need to delete them from your phone and not sync Facebook to remove them.

You can block them though so they can't contact you by tapping and holding on their photo and then selecting "block".

The ones i wanted to delete are not my facebook friends.

I held onto the photo and yippee delete bin appeared so i managed to delete them.

Thank you so much i thought it was impossible had Googled and watched U tube videos none worked.

Knew i should have posted here would have saved 2 hours of my evening

Glad you got it sorted in the end. Must have been a frustrating time.
