# How to Delete Leads from Comments

Leads captured by comments on social media posts do not mix with WhatsApp-origin leads. If these contacts do not make sense for your funnel, you can remove them to keep the database clean and free up space.\
Follow the step-by-step video or use the instructions below as a checklist.

Tools used

* **Segments with filter**
* **Automation Flows**
