Hi Jonathan,
i'm using Window Live Messenger and i've used the 'Also delete from my
hotmail contacts' but when i reboot and open live messenger, click the
tools>options>privacy then click View i am still able to see that contact
and unblock and interact with the contact.
I also have a contact that is visible in the View window who closed his
hotmail account years ago and i can't get rid of his entry either.

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.
