Do you want to delete more contacts in one go? This is possible by using the '+Add contacts' function.

**Delete several contacts in one go**

* If you have an excel file of contacts that you would like to delete from your address book you can simply follow the instructions in this article [here](https://docs.bird.com/connectivity-platform/contacts/remove-contacts).&#x20;
* If you would like to export a group from your existing contacts, and then use this file to remove these, first follow the instructions for ‘[Exporting Contacts](https://docs.bird.com/connectivity-platform/contacts/export-contacts)’.&#x20;
* Once you have the file of contacts that you want to delete, head to the '+Add contacts' part in the Contacts menu: <br>
  * Drag & drop or choose the file of contacts that you wish to remove.&#x20;
  * Select the most suited delimiter.&#x20;
  * Select 'remove contacts'.\ <br>

  * Now you can choose between:<br>
    * Don't add contacts to a group: This will remove them completely from your MessageBird account.
    * Group name is a column in the file: If the group that you would like to remove these contacts from is indicated in the file, you can select this option.
    * Select Group: Choose from which of your existing groups you would like to remove these contacts.\ <br>
  * Click 'next' and configure the columns. Confirm by clicking 'next' again.&#x20;

The chosen contacts will be deleted from your contacts entirely or the chosen group.
