IMPORTANT! Deleting a contact removes all its details from our database in accordance with the GDPR regulation “Right to be forgotten.” SiteGround Email Marketing keeps only the contact’s status change log. This way, the contact will keep its original status if you add it again.

You can also select multiple contacts and delete them simultaneously. On the Contacts page, check the boxes for the contacts you wish to delete. A Bulk Actions drop-down menu will appear. Click on it and select Delete.
