:-) Yep, it took me awhile to get the hang of it. The challenging aspect to it is that you can't search (at least I haven't found a way) to search for arbitrary record data. You can only search for records by id, which initially isn't that helpful, because you have no idea what the id is.
What I typically do in this case is to select "Truth" in the top left pop up menu. You'll then have *all* the data in the Sync Services truth database. Click on "Entity Name" in that table...this will order the records so you'll have an easier time hunting down the one you want. You are interested in entities of type "com.apple.contacts.Contact". Clicking on instances of them in turn will show you precisely what is still in the database. If it has a deleted symbol, then well..it has been deleted. Otherwise, it is still extant.
It's not for the faint of heart, but it should provide some answers to the ghosts that are lurking about on your machine.
Hope that helps,
