How to delete multiple contacts in a batch

[SBaker12]

I have a a lot of spam email which then gets added to my Hubspot. I want to delete multiple spam contacts. Currently, I must click the check the box next to each one manually rather than using "shift key" to select several contacts at once to delete. What is the work-around to having to check each box/contact individually? Thank you.

Hi @SBaker12,

HubSpot doesn't support the shift or ctrl key when selecting multiple records - I'm not aware of any workarounds for selecting contacts manually faster either. That's just the way it is.

I shared some general tips around identifying spam and deleting it in your other thread: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/Reducing-Spam-Emails-populating-Hubspot/...

I'd recommend approaching this from the angle of refining list criteria over time and deleting contacts in the list as opposed to deleting individual contacts.

Best regards!
