# Indie Email: How to Delete an Email Segment
## Learn how to delete email segments without losing your contacts. Follow these simple steps to clean up your dashboard and manage your contact lists.
Deleting a segment is a quick way to clean up your dashboard without losing your valuable lead data. This process removes the **filter (segment)** but does **not** delete the individual contacts within that segment.
### Overview
Segments are dynamic views of your contact list. When you delete a segment, you are simply removing that specific grouping, while all associated contacts remain in your "All Contacts" list.
### Steps to Delete a Segment
1. **Navigate to Email:** From the main dashboard menu on the left-hand side, click on **Email**.
2. **Open Contacts:** In the upper right-hand corner of the email screen, click the **Contacts** button.
3. **View All Segments:** Under the "All Contacts" header, select the option to **View All Segments**.
4. **Select Action:** Locate the segment you wish to remove. On the right-hand side of the segment name, you will see options for "Edit" or "Delete."
5. Click **Delete**.
6. **Verify:** You can refresh your page and check "All Contacts" to confirm the segment is gone while your total contact count remains the same.
> **Note:** Deleting a segment is permanent for the dashboard view, but it never impacts your main contact list.
