Deleting contacts

In order to delete contacts from your personal contact folders or from other users' public or shared contact folders (provided you have delete rights), select the contacts to be deleted in the Phone list or Cards view, holding the Ctrl key (for non-adjacent multi-selections) or the Shift key (for adjacent multi-selections). If you want to delete only one individual contact, you can also do this in the Detail view.

After you have selected all contacts you wish to delete, click on Delete in the Contacts panel section. To be safe, you will be asked whether you really want to delete these contacts. If you confirm this check with OK, all previously selected contacts are irretrievably deleted - including all data and attachments, if any.

In the Phone list view you can also delete the selected contacts with the Del key.

In the Phone list or Address Card view you can also activate the function Delete via the context menu.

Deleting contacts

If you want to delete contacts from other users' public or shared contact folders, you need delete rights for the objects of these folders. If delete rights were not granted to you, the Delete function in the Panel is deactivated and it is therefore impossible for you to delete contacts from this contact folder.

If you delete individual contacts that were included in one or several distribution lists, the deleted contacts are not automatically deleted from the relevant distribution list(s). If you would like to also remove deleted contacts from the distribution lists, open the distribution list(s) for editing and then delete the relevant contact(s) from the distribution list(s).
