If you want to remove a group of contacts, you can use our  List Cleanup tool. Note that this feature is only available on ActiveCampaign accounts created before February 22, 2022.

To remove unengaged contacts from your account, we recommend using the Engagement Management tool.

Once you delete a contact from your account, the action cannot be undone and we will not be able to recover them for you. It is also important to note that all accounts have a monthly delete limit. Once you reach that limit, you will not be able to delete any more contacts until your next billing period.
