"Contacts Interaction" Failing To Delete Contacts

[dplsurve]

Hello,

I imported my Google Calendar into NC and I noticed that the Contacts Interaction App. stripped all the contacts out and placed them into the App.

I was never given the option of accepting or refusing this option.

I noticed that other people were concerned about deleting contacts as well and were told that they should disable the Contacts Interaction App. Well, disabling the App. and deleting the contacts are (2) different things!

I want my contacts permanently deleted from the Contacts Interaction App. asap!

This is the (3rd.) time I've submitted this request!!

Thanks!,

Monty

Are you asking for an enhancement to be made that adds a command / button to empty out the database table on your own server?

I just looked through the code base for the app. I just want to make sure there's not a misunderstanding here:

• The Contacts Interactions app only stores data on your server.
• Any data stored by the app is located in the same database your contacts are already stored in (your server).
• Recent = interacted with in the last 7 days (a background job drops entries automatically as they age).
• If you disable the app, the Recently contacted address book goes away entirely.
• The database table name is recent_contact (and you can see the code here if you want to browse or get rid of it.
• You can disable the app and never use the feature (though documentation coverage could perhaps be improved).

This is the (3rd.) time I've submitted this request!!

Here / via this channel? Any idea when? I'm having a hard time finding any similar requests and this is the first Issue you've created according to GitHub.

Thanks for the quick response and clarification. Ignore the "3rd time" reference. Thanks, Monty
