Removing Contacts
You can remove contacts from your Contacts list. To remove a contact:
- Move your cursor over Network at the top of your homepage and select Contacts.
- Move your cursor over the contact you'd like to remove.
- Click More and select Remove from Contacts. Note: If you see Remove Connection instead of Remove from Contacts, the person is a 1st-degree connection and not just a contact. Learn more about removing connections.
- Read the list of effects of removing the contact and click Remove to confirm.
Note: A removed contact may reappear when your sources re-sync. To prevent them from reappearing, you can hide a contact instead of removing them.
