Windows 10: win10 skype contacts impossible to remove

it's not because they are in my windows contact list. It's the same for every contact including randsom people who only ever added me on skype. I push remove contacts they are still there. Even if I block them it shows them on contact list but with a block icon. How can I actually remove them?

remove contact from skype video contact list in windows 10

Hi,

I was contacted by a random person on skype video in windows 10 yesterday, and consented to the conversation.

This was my first time I have actually chatted on skype. So, I didn't realise that in doing this, this would add the person to my contact list, and they would see me online now, everytime I logged on.

Suffice to say, the skype messaging conversation did not go well and made me suspicious. I would like to remove the contact from my skype video contact list. This person is a stranger, and I am not confident that s/he is of good intent.

I haven't figured out how to remove the contact from the list by myself, and haven't been able to find instructions on the web or in this community

What can I do to remove this person from my contact list, so they can't see when I'm online or log on? Please help....

cheers

 

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
