How can I delete an element in my array?

I am having a hard time deleting an element in an Array. I have tried for a while and I am beating my head against the desk trying to figure this out. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

package javaapplication9;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JavaApplication9 {
int x;
final int maxContacts = 3;
