1. Deleting all contacts

Step 1: Access your contacts

Click Contacts in the CRM menu.

This opens your full contact list, which you can manage or delete according to your needs.

2. Deleting multiple contacts

Use this method when you want to delete only a part of your list instead of deleting every contact.

Step 1: Apply a filter

To delete part of your list, use filters to group contacts by criteria such as tag, date added, or another relevant attribute.

For example, if you want to delete all contacts with the Lead tag, select the Tag filter, then choose Lead from your list of tags.

This displays only the contacts associated with that tag, so you can select and delete that filtered group without affecting the rest of your list.

Step 2: Select and delete the filtered contacts

After filtering, only the matching contacts will appear in the list.

Click Select all to select the filtered list, then click Delete.

This lets you delete a specific group of contacts without affecting the rest of your list.

Step 3: Confirm the deletion
