There is no archive option for contacts at this time. If we would like to clean our database,  the only two options are to opt out or remove the contact from the portal.

 

Hubspot users would greatly appreciate the addition of a contact archive for invalid or inactive contacts. Our industry is highly mobile, people tend to change positions quite frequently and we need a way to keep the contact history while making sure that our email list is clean.

I would like to add my voice to this request.

Agreed, this is a feature requested by our users as there are contact histories we want to keep even if the contact is no longer valid. At the moment I have an additional field to allow for this, but then I have no way to exclude these from search results for example, which could cause confusion.

Really sad to discover that after 7 years of the initial request this so needed feature is still not here...
