We have bulk restore contacts in the Recycle bin, there should also be a bulk delete contacts button there as well.
Manually permanent deleting contacts one at a time is painful and waiting 90 days for them to be permanently deleted is too long of a wait.
Crucially needed!

Curious if there is any update from the HubSpot team on this. It would be extremely helpful.
That would be great if it worked. If you want to delete a lot of contacts here, it takes forever. I’m very surprised that something like this doesn’t already exist.
Hey all — following this since I ran into the same wall. I’ve been building something that does bulk GDPR-compliant contact deletion via the API, working around this exact limitation — still early, testing with a handful of people. If anyone wants to try it or just compare notes on how you’re handling this now, feel free to email me at info@coredefend.com. Not trying to turn this into a pitch thread, just thought it might be useful given how many people have hit the same thing here.
