while converting lead i dont want to create a contact just want account and optional opportunity

my requirement is when we convert a lead we usually get new account, new contact and ooportunity but i dont want to create contact. so am trying to achieve this through trigger on lead before update but its not working for me . can anyone help me to write a trigger on this requiremnet. here is what i have written which is not working. 
  
trigger NoContact on Lead (before update) {
    list<lead> newlead = trigger.new;
    list<contact> conlead=new list<contact>();
    for(lead lead1:newlead){
    if(trigger.new.size()>1){
        if(trigger.old[0].isconverted==false && trigger.new[0].isconverted==true){
            if (Trigger.new[0].ConvertedContactId != null) {
            contact con= new contact(Id=newlead[0].ConvertedContactId);
                conlead.add(con);
                system.debug('conlead :' +conlead);
        }
        	}
    }
        
    }
    delete conlead;
}

Hi Tarun,

Instead trying to avoid the Contact creation, have you thought about deleting the contacts created on lead conversions? you could identify those leads with a new custom field in lead and contact and map them so that when a contact is created and has this field checked, you delete it with a batch for example.

Regards
