Hi John,
Yes that's by design in Windows Messenger. But if you go into your Hotmail contacts on the
Hotmail site and remove the contact there, it will be removed from Messenger, and since the
OP gets logged off when they try the Delete option within Messenger, this is an acceptable
workaround.
However, the behavior you're describing has changed in Windows Live Messenger if you've not
tried it. When you right-click and choose Delete you are given the option to delete it from
your Hotmail contacts. If you chose not to, it still remains on your contact list as a
Hotmail contact and then can be right-clicked again, choose Delete and it will be gone.

Jonathan,
You can do the same thing by right clicking on the contact and selecting delete. The menu
that appears gives you the option of blocking the contact and deleting him/her from hotmail
contact list. But this doesn't delete the contact. He/she is still available in the list of
contacts that have your email details. Simply by looking in tools>options>privacy>view your
contatc will still be visible.

Greetings,
Is this a Hotmail account that you're logging into Messenger with? If so, you can go into
Hotmail and then to the Contacts tab and delete the contact there.
