Thanks for getting back to me on this, @hughie.

You can delete all of your contacts from Dropbox and Paper at once by:

Sign in.
Click your avatar (profile picture) that’s on the top right corner of your screen.
Click Settings.
Scroll to Preferences.
Locate Manually added contacts.
Click Clear.

There are several types of contacts that won’t be deleted by this action though, and you can find more info about this here.

Hope this helped clarify a bit more! :slight_smile:

Hey @hughie, if you’re looking to remove a member from a shared folder, I’d recommend checking out this article for more info and relevant steps on how to do so.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :upside_down:

That only deletes a name from a shared file or folder. I want to delete the name entirely from the list of people. I shared a file with a friend and he was able to see all the names in my share list. Most are old names and no longer need to be there. So when I hover over share and get a list of names I want to delete those names no longer valid.

Thanks, that appears to have done what I wanted. I need to verify my friend no longer sees my contacts.

No problem, @hughie! If you have any other questions, just give me a shout and, in the meantime, have a wonderful day ahead!
