Correcting spelling of a contact's name

I'm sure it's very simple, but I can't find how to correct a misspelled contact's name in my DropBox contacts or even how to remove it and start over.  Help, please?

    Hey Mike D.34, I'm afraid that there's no way to correct or delete a contact  at this time. You can only clear them all in bulk. 

     

    I hope this clarifies!

    I'm afraid as ridiculous as it sounds there isnt a way of doing this.

      Really??  That's amazing!  Guess Mr. Smith  will have to agree to be Mr. Smit from now on.  lol  

      Thanks for  the info.  Not the answer I'd expected.

      I know it's not your fault, but you're right about it being ridiculous!

    How can I delete and/or correct a mis-spelled email of an individual contact from my list of suggested contacts.  All my contacts are manually added, and I don't want to clear all 400+ of them.

        I guess this clarifies the fact that there's terrible fault in the system 😞
