To delete a contact in WhatsApp on your PC, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop: Ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your phone and that it is connected to the internet. Open WhatsApp Web by navigating to web.whatsapp.com on your computer's browser, or launch the WhatsApp Desktop application if you have it installed.
  2. Scan QR Code: On your phone, open WhatsApp and tap on the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu.

    • Open the chat with the contact you want to remove.
    • Click on the three dots at the top right of the chat window.
