Many people use eHarmony daily to find their true love, but not all matches end up being the right one. How do you remove old eHarmony matches? You can learn more about the online dating platform by calling user support here, and below are ways to remove matches you aren't interested in from your profile.

How to Remove Old eHarmony Matches

You can remove matches from your eHarmony profile whether you have started talking to them or not. Permanently removing matches prevents them from contacting you on the dating platform, so ensure this is the step you want to take before removing them. Removing matches you don't vibe with allows you to focus on those you wish to connect with.

Removing a Match From Their Profile

Removing an old match from eHarmony from their profile is easy. Follow these steps:

  1. Open eHarmony in your browser.
  2. Log into your profile.
  3. Open your matches.
  4. Click on each match you wish to remove individually.
  5. Open the menu by clicking the three dots in the upper-right-hand corner of the person's profile.
  6. If you haven't yet established communication with the match, simply select "Delete Match" to remove them from your active matches.
  7. To delete a match after establishing communication, select "Remove Contact" to cease messaging and remove them from your matches.

Removing Matches from Messages

It's also possible to remove matches on eHarmony from your inbox by doing the steps listed below.

  1. Open eHarmony on your computer.
  2. Log into your account.
  3. Open your inbox.
  4. Select the message from the person you wish to delete.
  5. Open the menu on the right-hand side of the screen.
  6. Click "Delete Contact" to remove them from your matches.

Reminder, once you remove a match from your profile, they're gone forever. So, make sure you want to delete this person and not have future communication with them before hitting "Delete Match" or "Delete Contact." Deleting a contact is a quick, simple process through the match's profile or your inbox. For more information or assistance, contact eHarmony user support here.
