Hi, 

I am trying to delete otherconacts of specific match from few users in the organization. howvever, the contacts are not getting deleted. 

I have used CSV method, one by one method, etc but not working for other contacts. I am however able to delete personal contacts. 

Any help/advise here. 

Thanks and regards

If you find a workaround for this, I'm interested too. Looks like Google purposely broke it by removing that functionality in the new API. Admins no longer have control over their User's "Other Contacts. Still trying to wrap my head around that -- Admins, who are in charge of their organizations accounts and data, cannot have control over contacts in their organization. Doesn't make any sense to me.

The current version of Advanced GAM, 6.15.03, can delete othercontacts and can update them; they are moved to My Contacts after being updated.

@Ross, 

Thank you for the update, I have used the latest version and I was able to delete the other contacts. This was a much-needed update. Appreciate it. 

@Christopher Latest version of Advanced GAM is capable of deleting the other contacts as well. Please use that one. 

Thanks
