<p>Thank you for your time and your answers. I've reset the phone
and the problem is still here, so I guess I've never succeed in
remove a contact on the server from my phone. Can't be sure
because all system files haven't been reset =/<br>

I've never seen this X-DELETED-AT before. As you are using an Ubuntu
Phone, with sync and datastore provided by Canonical, I suggest that you
bring this up with them. This looks like an Ubuntu Phone specialty to
me.

Whatever the problem is, the contact has been updated on the server but
no information has changed.

I'm not following. What problem?
If this is the first two-way sync after "deleting" the contact via the
phone UI, then the sync above makes perfect sense. The contact has been
modified (by adding the X-DELETED-AT) and that's why it gets sent to the
server, including that extension. But as it is non-standard, the server
doesn't do anything with it.

<pre wrap=""> I can see it in another client

supposed to completely reset the local problem on the phone, and surprise:

The AAA contact can't be seen in the Contact app at this time! Even if
you previous command reveal it in the database:
$ syncevolution --print-items owncloud contacts
pas-id-5918A76400000233: AAA AAA
[...]
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
So presumably the X-DELETED-AT was preserved on the server (you can
check by dumping it again). The server still shows the contact (because
it doesn't know what that property means), but the phone hides it
(because it knows the property).
