# Delete a contact from BluBash

> Permanently remove a contact and all their data from BluBash, including conversation history, tags, and custom fields. This action cannot be undone.

You can delete contacts that are no longer needed in your database. This action is permanent and removes all information associated with the contact, so make sure you no longer need the record before proceeding.

<Warning>
  Deleting a contact is **permanent and cannot be undone**. All data linked to the contact — including conversation history, tags, custom fields, and activity timeline — will be removed forever. Consider exporting or noting any important information before you delete.
</Warning>

  <Step title="Open the actions menu">
    Click the **menu** button (three dots) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Delete">
    In the menu that appears, click **Delete** (trash icon).
  </Step>

### What is removed when you delete a contact?

<Warning>
  The following data is permanently removed:

  * Basic contact data (name, email, phone, WhatsApp)
  * Profile photo
  * Custom fields
  * Linked tags
  * Conversation history
  * Activity timeline
  * All related messages
  * Metadata and additional information
</Warning>

**A few things to keep in mind:**

* Deletion requires **administrator permission** or a specific permission to delete contacts.
* The action **cannot be reversed** after you confirm.
* If the contact has **active conversations**, those will also be affected.
* We recommend **backing up** any important information before deleting.
* If available, consider **archiving** the contact instead of deleting them.
