How can I delete contacts?

Organize Your Contacts with Contact Lists

Searching for a "Delete" option? This article will get you on the right path with helpful suggestions.

Deleting Contacts

Contacts are intentionally permanent and cannot be deleted.  This is because you use a lookup credit for each contact with verified information.  Additionally, RocketReach will update that contact with new information when available.  If you deleted contacts, you would be missing out!

Instead, use Contact Lists to manage your contacts.  Use a list to group contacts however is meaningful to you, such as move them to a "Already Contacted" list once you've done outreach.
