Does hiding a contact remove the person from Hangouts? I don't want these contacts to get my IP address. They seem like shady characters that I met on a fraudulent dating site.

No, it doesn't. Hidden contacts are just hidden, not removed. To remove contacts do this:
- go to your Contacts: https://contacts.google.com/
- choose/find a name
- click on the 3-dots (on the right side of selection)
select Delete
then go to Gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/
click on Hangouts' icon
select name
- click on 3-dots
select Delete
and confirm:

Okay, but what if there isn't a contact in my google contacts that keeps popping up on my hangouts list? Commented Apr 14, 2020 at 19:46
