# Linq App: Bulk Delete Contacts

#### Bulk Deleting Multiple Contacts

You can select multiple contacts and delete them all at once, instead of removing them one by one.

### Steps

1. Go to the **Contacts** page

4. Scroll down in the actions menu and tap **Delete** (shown in red)

5. A confirmation dialog will appear: "Are you sure you want to delete X contacts?"
   
   ![Screenshot 2026-03-01 at 8.56.25 PM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-01%20at%208.56.25%20PM.png?width=309&height=222&name=Screenshot%202026-03-01%20at%208.56.25%20PM.png)
6. Tap **Delete** to confirm
7. A progress bar will show the deletion progress
8. When complete, you'll see a summary of how many contacts were deleted successfully
9. Tap **Done** to close

### Important Notes

- **This action cannot be undone.** Deleted contacts are permanently removed.
- **"Select All" is not supported** for bulk delete. You must select contacts individually.
- If some contacts fail to delete (e.g., due to permissions), the summary will show how many failed. Successfully deleted contacts are still removed.

### Frequently Asked Questions

*Can I undo a bulk delete?*

No. Bulk delete is permanent and cannot be reversed. Make sure you've selected the right contacts before confirming.

*Why don't I see the Delete option?*

The Delete action only appears when you've selected individual contacts using the checkboxes. It is not available when using "Select All."

*Is there a limit to how many contacts I can delete at once?*

There is no hard limit, but very large selections will take longer to process. A progress bar will keep you informed.

*What happens if some contacts fail to delete?*

You'll see a summary showing how many succeeded and how many failed. The contacts that were successfully deleted will be removed from your list. Contacts that failed will remain.

*Can I delete team contacts?*

You can only delete contacts you have permission to delete. If you select team contacts you don't have permission to remove, those will show as failed in the results summary.
