Remove contacts from a contact list

Remove an individual contact from a list or multiple lists, or remove a group of contacts from a specific contact list

Keeping an organized contact list is a best practice and helps ensure that when you send an email, the right contacts receive it. As your contact list grows and your organization's needs change, you may need to shift your contacts around and remove them from a specific list.

• Remove an individual contact from a list
• Remove multiple contacts from a list

Removing a contact from a contact list doesn't delete the contact from your account. The contact is still active and can be added to a different list at any time.

Did you know? If you have contacts who aren't assigned to a list, you're missing chances to send them targeted emails. It's a good idea to periodically check for these contacts and make sure they're added to a list.
