Deleting Households, Contacts or Companies

Deleting Households, Contacts or Companies

  Best Practices:

  • Activities are deleted separately from someone’s record. Either cancel or delete them before you delete the record or find them on the Home workspace to delete them after.
  • Deleting a Household does not delete the Contacts that are members of the Household. If you want both to be deleted, you must delete them separately.

Deleting a Household, Contact, or Company permanently removes its information and any documents associated with it from Gorilla 5. This cannot be undone.

To delete an entity, navigate to the Contacts workspace.

Navigate to the record you want to delete.

Click the More Actions button for that record and select Delete.
