# Method name: deleteContact(contactId: string, options: AuthOptions)

# Method package: wixCrmBackend

# Method menu location: wixCrmBackend --> Contacts --> deleteContact

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-crm-backend/contacts/delete-contact.md

# Method Description:

Deletes a contact who is not a site member or contributor.




The `deleteContact()` function returns a Promise
that resolves when the specified contact is deleted.

> **Note:**
> This function replaces the deprecated
> `wixCrmBackend.deleteContact()`.
> The deprecated function will continue to work, but it will not receive updates.
> To keep any existing code compatible with future changes, see the
> [migration instructions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-crm-backend/delete-contact.md).

Deleting a contact permanently removes them from your Contact List.


If the contact is also a site member,
the member must be deleted first,
and then the contact can be deleted.

> **Note:**
> Only visitors with
> **Manage Contacts** [permissions](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Froles-and-permissions)
> can delete contacts.
> You can override the permissions by setting the `suppressAuth` option to `true`.
