Delete Lead after converting to a Contact

[jamesa]

After I convert a Lead to a Contact currently, the Lead remains there. Is there a way for the lead to delete automatically after the (during the) convert process? Thank you!

The Lead after convert has a status Converted. You can just filter by status. But if you really need to delete the lead, you can use hook for it or override Lead Service convert method

Awesome -- thank you Tanya!

I would simply create a way to remove the lead. I hate that too. Why have the person on the CRM twice and simply "filter" it out, that's bandaiding the app. It's a waste. If it's converted, why keep the lead profile when they are now a contact or account

Hello
Someone needs stream, someone needs converted leads for analytics. Easier to remove existing, then restoring deleted.
