Managing your contacts in Mailchimp is an essential part of maintaining a clean and effective email list. Over time, you may find that some contacts are no longer relevant to your campaigns or have unsubscribed. Deleting these contacts is a straightforward process that ensures your list remains up-to-date and your campaigns are delivered to the most engaged recipients. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to delete contacts in Mailchimp.
