A bit of a problem why is it I can delete a contact under the contacts list but when I compose a text message when I start typing in the number it has the option of selecting the deleted number ?

Eg I have deleted a contact name Donna smith when I go to compose a text to Darren capon I put the letter D in first and it brings up everyone whose name starts with D including Donna Smith !
EDIT: I just tried to compose a text using a contact and it auto filled the name. I then deleted the contact, started to compose a text again, and it no longer auto filled the name. Not sure why yours is still doing it.
I still can't replictate this on my iPhone 5. I just deleted a contact that had an active message thread in the Messages app. When I went back to Messages, the name had disappeared from the message thread and it was just showing the number. I began a new message and started to type the name in the 'To' field but it didn't try to autocomplete it.
Are you sure you're not sharing your address book with Facebook or some other service?
