Unclear Documentation on Data Update and Data Deletion

In the document section of object deletion and object updates, what does the contactStorage object refers to?
The examples are not clear.
https://backendless.com/documentation/data/js/data_deleting_data_objects.htm

“contactStorage” refers to the object retrieved with “Backendless.Persistence.of( Contact )”

I could understand it after spending some time here. But updating the document section would be helpful for many new comers like me.
