Managing your email list can sometimes feel like cleaning out a cluttered closet. Just as you would toss out old clothes that no longer fit, keeping your Mailchimp contact list clean and up-to-date is vital. But what do you do with the cleaned contacts? Learning how to delete cleaned contacts in Mailchimp can help ensure your audience remains engaged and your campaign metrics stay healthy.

Understanding Cleaned Contacts

Cleaned contacts in Mailchimp are those email addresses that have bounced back after multiple attempts to deliver emails. This typically happens due to invalid or expired email addresses. When these addresses make up a significant portion of your list, they can hinder overall performance and skew your metrics.

Why You Should Delete Cleaned Contacts

  • Improved Deliverability: Removing cleaned contacts lowers the chances of your emails being flagged as spam.
  • Increased Engagement: A focused list made of engaged subscribers enhances your email open rates.
  • Accurate Analytics: Clean lists produce more accurate data, allowing you to make informed marketing decisions.

  1. Log into Mailchimp and go to your Audience dashboard.
