Summary

Deleting a contact is a simple process. Admins should be constantly updating their companies pipeline and that includes deleting Contacts that are no longer beneficial. Once deleted, a Contact cannot be recovered. If you think you may need to recover a Contact in the future, consider using the "Dead" or "Inactive" Contact Status instead of deleting the Contact altogether. This will allow you to keep your Contact's history intact.

Step by Step

1. Once in the contact page, simply hover your mouse over the contact you would like to delete
2. A trash can icon will show up on the far right
3. All you have to do is click the icon, and confirm you would like to delete the contact.
