How can I Remove Contacts from QuickBooks which I have Synced with MS Outlook?

If you wish to remove contacts from QuickBooks that you have synced with MS Outlook or any other third-party program, you would first need to mark them as inactive.

When you mark these contacts as inactive, it won’t delete them from your QuickBooks account and would restrict them to appearing only in the Customer list.

Why am I still Seeing the Contact which I have made inactive on QuickBooks?

If you are facing any issue, where you are still seeing the contact/contacts that you have had successfully made inactive, this might be because of having duplicate contacts.

If your QuickBooks account has duplicate contacts, then while making inactive, only one would be made inactive and the other one remains in the existing data.

To resolve this, you need to merge duplicate profiles and then mark them as inactive.
