How to: Deleting Contacts from your Eloqua10 Database

in Eloqua 31 comments

[The Eloqua9 version of this guide can be found at http://topliners.eloqua.com/docs/DOC-1668].

If you’ve maintained your marketing database for a length of time, it may be valuable to do some spring cleaning by deleting contacts you’re unable to reach or engage. If a large portion of your database is no longer of use, this may be skewing your reports and analysis of the overall health of your database.

  • Contacts whose email addresses have hard bounced. A hard bounce means that the address was rejected by the receiving email server because either the account or the domain did not exist, or there was a network problem on the recipient's end.
