Deleting One or More Contacts

Here’s How
In the Contacts page, check the box to the left of each contact you want to delete, then click the Delete link.
Tip: If you can’t find a contact you want to delete, use the search feature described in Searching Your Contacts.

The contacts are moved to Deleted Contacts. All connections and category affiliations are removed for the deleted contacts.
