You can modify or even delete the contact constraint using the contextual menu command.

1. Make sure either Constraint or Contact Constraint is active in the Constraint toolbar.

2. Right-click the constraint you want to modify or delete.

3. Select the option corresponding to the desired operation, from the contextual menu. For example, select the Distance constraint type to turn the contact constraint into a distance constraint. The Distance constraint symbol and value now appear as shown here.
