How to Delete a Contact

Why This Matters

Deleting a contact removes the contact and all of its history, including notes, to-dos and emails. There is no undo, so make sure you really want to delete the contact before you continue.

💡 If the contact is a duplicate, merge it instead of deleting it. Merging keeps the contact's notes and history. See How to Find and Merge Duplicate Contacts.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Contact and Click Edit Contact

Edit Contact is in the top-right corner of the contact card. The Delete button is on the edit screen.

2. Click Delete

Delete is at the top and bottom of the edit screen.

3. Confirm

A Confirm Delete box asks if you're sure you want to permanently delete the contact. Click Yes, Delete.

This last check is there because a deleted contact can't be brought back.
