Deleting old Import Names with zero contacts associated

SOLVE

We did some import testing that didn't go as planned and ended up deleting those contact records and trying again. Now, however, we have lots of import names with zero contacts associated in our account, so when I try to create a list based on filtering by Import Name, there are a lot of irrelevant Import Names with zero contacts associated. It's hard to get to the right ones with all of these extra names. I'd like to be able to delete these.

Dunno of a way to delete the import/export history. Considering the likelihood of abuse, not sure this is even on HubSpot's roadmap.


Workaround:
Name all future imports using a special prefix syntax -- e.g., 'Import2019', 'Import2020', etc.. This will help you find relevant imports more quickly.

Hope that helps.

 

Be well,

Users need a way to remove them. Imagine how many imports companies will have after a couple of years, and they won't be able to remove old imports? This is just obvious in my opinion, that it needs to be addressed.

Having the ability to rename them would at least be helpful... when you are first starting out and testing, I don't think everyone is aware that those imports will be there in perpetuity..
