  2. From the Contacts Overview, click the three dots button in the top right corner.
  3. Click “View archived contacts.”
  4. From the archived contacts list, filter and select the contact(s) you’d like to delete.
  5. Click “Delete” next to the restore button at the top of the archived contact list.
  6. Review the confirmation prompt and click the “Delete permanently” button to permanently delete the contact. This action cannot be undone.
