Re: Cannot delete blocked contacts

You politely ask the other person to delete you from their contact list too.
Simply using the 'delete contact' option marks the contact as blocked. The
contact cannot be deleted without the contact deleting your contact from
his/her contact list.
I have a number of old contacts on my messenger list that i cannot get rid
of, simply because they no longer hold the email address that was originally
used to access messenger and so cannot delete me from their list.
I did see a post some time ago that said, if the account was closed the
contact would automatically be deleted from your list. Well this hasn't
worked for me. I have a contact from 5 years ago that closed his hotmail
account, and his hotmail contact details are still visible in messenger. I
can't get rid of it!
