What’s the difference between deleting groups and deleting contacts?

The system uses cascade deletion for safety:

Process:

1. System first deletes all contacts within the groups
2. Then deletes the empty groups

Why cascade deletion:

• Prevents orphaned contacts (contacts without groups)
• Maintains database integrity
• Ensures clean removal

In the Export:

• Each contact row includes its group name and group ID
• Allows you to restore the full group structure if needed

Example:

• User has 5 groups with 1,000 contacts total
• Delete operation removes all 1,000 contacts first
• Then removes the 5 empty groups
• Export file shows all 1,000 contacts with their group assignments
