Are you deleting them through the XI web UI or through the file?

Out of curiosity, why couldn't you delete them is XI? Did you get an error?

The proper way, would be to go to
Config -> Core Config Manager -> Contacts -> Delete

If you don't drmove them through XI they will be re-created when the config is applied.
