Re: Delete

Hi John,

They must be using their Passports in some way, as in the last year Microsoft has started
deleting inactive accounts which than disappear from your contact/privacy lists.

Joel there is no help on this one. Deleting contacts has to be mutually agreed because the
contact details are stored on Microsoft servers. To be honest i have the same problem i
have five or six contacts i haven't heard from for years, but they are still on my
messenger contact list. The annoying part about it, in my case, is that the people i want
to delete have changed email addresses so i can't contact them.

The only option you have, really, is to contact them and politely ask them to delete you
from their contact list. If you don't want to do that you will simply have to resort to
blocking them.

There is a person on my list that got there by some method unknown to me. I CAN delete
this person; however, upon recycling the program this person returns to the list. I can
keep this person in the Block list; however, it will delete, but returns immediately. Any
help in remove this person permanently????
