How to delete or undo a data import

Undo an entire data import

To delete all of the data from an import, go to "Contacts"

Click "Add contacts" and select "Import contacts"

Click the "View past imports" button in the top right corner of the page

A pop-up titled "Past imports" will appear on your screen. Click "Delete" next to the import you wish to remove

Delete individual contact data

If you only wish to delete a few contacts from a contact import, go to "Contacts" and search for the contact you wish to delete. Their contact page will open to the side of your screen. Click the "Actions" button at the top to view the "Delete the contact" option:

⚠️ Contacts cannot be deleted in bulk.

Delete individual imported payments

You can delete imported payments one at a time, just like manually entered payments:

1. Go to "Payments"

2. Find the imported payment you want to remove and click anywhere on the row (avoid clicking the donor's name, which will take you to their contact page)

3. Click "Actions" in the top right-hand corner of the payment drawer

4. Click "Delete" to remove the payment

What to do next

• Importing contacts into Zeffy — Try importing again with a corrected file.

• Managing and editing contacts — Review your remaining contacts after cleanup.
