Hi. I’m Gary from organicwebcomau.wpcomstaging.com. If you find this video useful please like it or leave a comment.

I’m going to show you how we can delete or remove contacts from Mailchimp; from an audience in Mailchimp. So in Mailchimp, I’m in my audience at the moment, if I want to remove certain people I merely click on the people I want to remove. I then click “Actions”, “Remove contacts” and I have two options; one is I can archive or I can permanently delete. Archived; I can add them back again later and if I archive them they don’t count towards our billing. Alternately I can permanently delete a person but be aware that if I do permanently delete a person I cannot add them back again. And that’s how we remove or delete people in Mailchimp.

Thank you for joining me.
