Hi there,


If the contact is in a GROUP of contacts, go to Contacts > Lists (top let corner) > Select the relevant Group > Select the Contact to Delete from the Group > Edit (top right corner) > Down to Linked Contacts > Red Minus > Delete . Done.


That will delete the Contact from the GROUP but not your Contacts.
