Hi,

For List view of contacts, I have created custom delete button.Is this the same you are looking for?



1.Go to Setup | Create | Objects
2.Click on the contact
3.Scroll down to the Buttons, Links & Actions section.
4.Click on New Button or Link
5.Name it as Delete
6.Select the Display Type: List Button [Do check the option: Display Checkboxes (for Multi-Record Selection)]
7.Behaviour: Execute JavaScript
8.Content Source: OnClick JavaScript
9.JS:  
{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js')}
try
{
  var selectedRecords = {!GETRECORDIDS( $ObjectType.contact )};
  if(selectedRecords.length<1)
    alert('Please Select at Least One Row !');
  else
  {
    userConsent = confirm(
        selectedRecords.length + 
        ' Record(s) will be Deleted. Continue ? '
      );
    if(userConsent == true)
    {
      delResult = sforce.connection.deleteIds(selectedRecords);
      if (delResult[0].getBoolean("success"))
      {
        alert('The Record(s) were Deleted Successfully.'); 
        window.location.reload();
      }
      else
        alert(
          'The Record(s) Could Not be Deleted. Error Message: ' + 
          delResult[0].errors.message
        );
    }  
  }
}
catch(e)
{
  alert('The Action Could not be Completed. Error Message: ' + e);
}

10.Hit Save
Now, we've to add it to the List View. Here you go:
11.Go to Setup | Create | Objects
12.Click on the Name of the Object
13.Scroll down to Search Layouts section
14.Click Edit next to List View Layout
15.Move our new button from the Available Buttons to the Selected Buttons List
16.Hit Save


Hope this helps you!
