Has it happened to you that you've added buds that you didn't even know who
they were and that later on you deleted and blocked them? However, when you
go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, PRIVACY settings you can still see those unwanted
contactcs on your BLOCK LIST. I was wondering if there is any way to get them
OUT of you messenger forever. If you guys have any clue, please let me know.

I tell you that i tried something althought it has not solved my problem.
See... when you add peeople to WLM you have the option to added to your
Hotmail Contacts List. Well... i first deleted them from my HCL. In doing
so... it said they would also be deleted from WLM. What'd you think I
clicked? ACCEPT.... and then on my WLM i blocked and deleted them

Next time at sign-in, I receive a bunch of invites as if those who i deleted
had added me again but we know that is not true. With that... i don't have
them anymore in my TOOLS, OPTIONS, PRIVACY, BLOCK LIST thing yet I have them
every time I sign in.

Again... please... how can i do to make them dissapear FOREVER?

Thanks for reading this one!

Greetings,

You can right-click contacts on the Privacy lists and choose Delete. However, this Delete
option will be grayed out unless they've removed you from their main contact list.

Until they do, they will be in those lists. The only way to completely remove them would be
to cancel your Passport/Windows Live ID and re-create it. Of course, losing your entire
contact list and contacts in the process.

Unfortunately you have to delete your Passport account first and then readd
only the people you want.
