User level: Level 1 (10 points)Using an apple phone ver 27.00, is it possible to delete the blocked phone numbers? All I seem to be able to do is unblock them and I’ve reached the limit of 3,000 numbers.

There isn’t a separate “delete but keep blocked” option. Removing a number from the Blocked Contacts list means unblocking it.
If you’ve reached the limit you’re seeing, you’ll need to unblock some entries to make room. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Blocked Contacts, then select an entry and tap Unblock Contact.
For large numbers of spam calls, I’d use iOS 27’s call screening/filtering instead of blocking every individual number. You can find those options under Settings > Apps > Phone.
