# Remove contacts from a contact list

`DELETE /contact-lists/{contact_list_id}/contacts`

Remove contacts from a contact list by contact ID and/or phone number.

    At least one of ``contact_ids`` or ``phone_numbers`` is required.

    Contacts not currently in the list are silently ignored (idempotent).
    Phone numbers that cannot be resolved to a contact in your organisation are
    reported in ``not_found_phone_numbers`` without raising an error.

    **Note:** This operation removes contacts from the list only.
    Contacts are never deleted from your organisation.

    Authentication:
    - API key with READ_WRITE permission
