          It's not something you can do via Aurora interface directly. If you only need to delete one or a few contacts, there's a workaround: create a personal contact with the same email address and then delete it, it will no longer be there in your address book. Alternately, you can use DAV client to manage your contacts including Collected ones.

 Collected addresses can be deleted if you start to compose new mail.
 Then, click "to" field and list of collected addresses appear.
 Every address there can be deleted with "X" in the end of address line.
 
 This did not work couple of versions back, but in current version (9.8.0) it seems to work fine.

          The contact is not actually deleted; instead, its Frequency value stored in `au_contacts_cards` table is set to -1 - and we don't show the contacts with a negative frequency value. That is a by-design behavior.

 Are those -1 contacts deleted when original contact owner account is deleted from aurora?

          Indeed, deleting a user deletes all address books and contacts of the user.
