Each email (webmail) site probably has its own method for editing lists. If you want to mention which one it is (e.g., Yahoo mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail), perhaps someone who uses that site can help.

It should be so simple to delete contact entries. Searching around did not find it.

The regular saved contacts can be deleted from your contacts list (see attached image). Google also might auto-suggest names based on past email you have sent or received. I don't know whether you can clear that.
