Deleting contacts, keeping all emails received/sent

[Westbourne]

Hi, if I permanently delete a contact, will the Deals related to the contact remain? Also will the emails within the Deals remain?

TIA

Hi @Westbourne,

You can find detailed information about what happens upon deletion here: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/delete-crm-records#data-lost-in-deletion

"only the contact's timeline activity will be deleted. If the contact has an associated company, deal, or ticket, the associated object's timeline activity (e.g., calls and emails) will not be affected as they are explicitly associated with that object."

Best regards!
