How to modify/delete a specific contact for all users?

[Jonathan King]

We have a situation where a new faculty member has the email address of a former student, and while they share a last name, their first names are different. Since many people have the former student in their Contacts, people are seeing the wrong first name when they enter the new teacher's email address.

I'd like to use GAM to find every Contact for every user that matches the email address, but has the former students firstname and either delete it or update it to the correct firstname.

I've found that GAMADV-XTD3 has the plumbing for this, but I'm not sure how to best go about it. 

Thanks!

gam all users delete contact query "con...@domain.com"

gam all users delete othercontact query "con...@domain.com"

Test with: gam all users show contacts query "con...@domain.com"

Thanks you Ross. How would I do that deletion only for a contact with that email and a specific first name?

Thank you Ross. Prior to your reply, I'd worked out how to query and save the results to a Sheet so I could inspect the data. Then I deleted all of the contacts that matched my criteria. Your way was rather simpler, and faster!
