Unable to remove folder within 'My Sharing Folders'

Good day all. I have removed 2 contacts from my WLM and am now unable to
remove the folders from the 'My Sharing Folders'. I have removed them from
WLM and when going to Tools --> Options ---> Sharing Folders. The users do
not show up in either 'All Contacts" or in "Sharing Folders". So when I
attempt to go into 'My Sharing Folders' and delete them; they wiull not
delete. Even when I remove the Read Only attribute; they will not delete.
The 'delete' option doesn't even show up. I am using Version of WLM 8.5
..1238.0601.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Greetings Mark,

You can probably just delete the folder directly to solve this. To do so, shut down
Messenger, click Start, and enter the following:
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger

(Note: for English Windows only, other languages will have a different path)

Next, double-click on the folder corresponding to your Windows Live ID, then choose Sharing
Folders and then delete the folder corresponding to the Live ID of the person's Sharing
Folder you want to remove.

You can then start Messenger up again.
