delete a contact Permanently from Samsung SIII

HI..my first smart phone.. Love it.. How do I delete a contact Permanently from my Samsung Galaxy SIII?

I see I can HIDE them... But what happened was a bunch came over from I believe facebook of folks who I do Not know. But are probably connected to someone I do know.. So many contacts from strangers. Second did YAHOO also update my S3?

Suggestions Please .. Thank you

NEW Smartphone User..

If you have your contacts synced with Facebook, then you would have to un-sync that before you deleted contacts which were populated via Facebook. If you were to delete it, Facebook would most likely just repopulate it.

Yahoo cannot update your S3, however it can update the Yahoo app if you have it installed.

I don't use a yahoo calendar. You might want to try the website to see what info they have for adding the calendar to a mobile device.

Edit: I found THIS on the Yahoo site.
