It should be deleted from watsapp automatically...
Maybe try reset your contacts and also delete the chat you had with that contact.

I don't see an option to reset contacts.
Never chatted with them as it's a number that belonged to someone I knew and now it seems to belong to a new, unknown person. Hence why I want to delete it.

On iPhone:

Go to favorites tab, scroll up to the top and pull down
This will refresh the contacts
Alternatively, completely close the app and then reopen it
This should also refresh the contacts

I don't see a "refresh" button or "Favorites" tab anywhere.
I'm on Android.
In any case the contact somehow disappeared overnight after having deleted it from my phone's contacts.

Thanks guys for the help anyway.
