If you delete a mailing list, what will happen to the contacts that were a part of the list?

When a mailing list is deleted, the contacts that were part of that list are preserved in the directory along with any associated Embedded Data. This means that while the mailing list itself is removed, the underlying contact information and any additional data you may have attached to these contacts will still remain accessible. This functionality allows users to maintain an organized directory of contacts while managing their lists efficiently, ensuring that important information is not lost even after a mailing list is no longer in use. This preservation of contact data is particularly useful for future projects or communications without the need to re-enter information.
