# Deleting a Person

Please note, deleting a person is permanent. We recommend [Archiving](/v1/docs/archiving-a-person) people rather than deleting. An Archived contact does NOT count towards you total number of people for your pricing tier, and you get to retain the history and data associated with that person.

1. To Delete a person, go to their profile and click the **Settings Cog** icon in the top left.
2. Then click **Change Archive/Delete Status**.

1. Next, select **Archive** from the drop down list.  This will give you an optional **Delete** setting.
2. Select **Delete**.
3. If the contact has Financial Transaction associated you will need to type **OK** in the confirmation box (this is a required security step).
4. Click **Save**.

          Note

          

Remember, this data can't be recovered. Also note that due to the person's history being deleted, they will no longer appear in any reports.
