Quick Answer
How do you bulk delete contacts in BizStackPro?
Open Contacts or a Smart List, select the records you want to remove, open the bulk actions menu, choose Delete Contacts, review the warning, and confirm the deletion. Bulk deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so export the records first when you may need them later.
How Bulk Contact Deletion Works
Bulk deletion allows multiple BizStackPro contact records to be permanently removed in one action.
This can be useful when cleaning up test contacts, confirmed duplicates, inactive records, or data that should no longer remain in the CRM.
Deleting a contact can also affect information connected to that record, including conversations, notes, opportunities, tasks, appointments, manual actions, and campaigns, depending on account settings and data-retention rules.
Contact deletion is permanent
There is no automatic undo option for bulk deletion. Export the selected contacts before deleting when there is any chance the records may be needed later.
Bulk Contact Deletion at a Glance
Before You Begin
Confirm the contact selection and create a backup before permanently removing any records.
- Confirm exactly why the contacts should be deleted.
- Use a Smart List or filters to isolate only the intended records.
- Review whether the contacts contain conversations, notes, opportunities, tasks, appointments, or campaign history.
- Export the contacts when they may be needed later.
- Verify that duplicates have already been merged or compared.
- Confirm whether the current-page selection or full-database selection is intended.
- Test the process with five to ten contacts when you are unsure.
- Sign in to your BizStackPro account.
Step 1: Select the Contacts
Select only the contact records that should be permanently removed.
Open Contacts or a Smart List
Open Contacts or select a Smart List containing the records you want to delete.
Select Individual Contacts
Use the checkbox beside each contact when only specific records should be deleted.
Select the Current Page
Click the checkbox at the top of the contact table to select every contact displayed on the current page.
Select the Full Database When Needed
If the deletion should include every contact, click the additional link that appears after selecting the page, commonly labeled Select all in company.
Review the Contact Count
Confirm the number of selected contacts before opening the bulk actions menu.
Watch the full-database selection carefully
Selecting the current page and selecting every contact in the company are different actions. Do not use Select all in company unless the entire database should be included.
Step 2: Delete the Selected Contacts
Open the bulk actions menu and confirm the permanent deletion.
Open the Bulk Actions Menu
After selecting the contacts, open the available bulk actions toolbar or menu.
Choose Delete Contacts
Select the trash or Delete Contacts option.
Review the Warning
Read the deletion warning and confirm that the contact count matches the records you intend to remove.
Confirm the Deletion
Click Confirm to permanently delete the selected contacts.
Verify the Contact List
Return to the contact list and confirm that only the intended records were removed.
Deleted contacts cannot be restored with an undo button
If contacts are deleted accidentally, they may need to be recreated or re-imported from a previous export or backup.
What Contact Deletion Can Affect
Removing a contact may also remove or disconnect information tied to that record.
Conversations
Message history connected to the deleted contact may be removed or become unavailable.
Notes

Opportunities

Manual Actions

Exact behavior may vary
The effect on connected records may depend on your BizStackPro account settings and data-retention rules. Review the contact's related information before deleting.
