# DELETE a Contact

`DELETE /contacts/{contact_id}`

Deletes the contact identified by the contact_id path parameter. Deleted contacts won't receive email from you, and they don't count as active contacts. Unlike unsubscribed contacts, deleted contacts can be revived, or added back to an account. Learn how to [revive deleted contacts](/api_guide/contacts_delete.html#revive).
