jipman 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I fear that that's not possible, since the allow and block lists are stored at m$' s server and that there's no function or way to clear that list (according to my, after a close inspection of the msn options window).You have two choices I think.1 - Get another MSN-account2 - Live with it.

Trekkie101 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I think my bot (My MSN one) may be able to. It sends a funky signal to MSN but ive since deleted that function, but it can be done, just delete the blocks from your contact list and they should be gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jipman 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 No, if you block the contacts from your Allow list they will automaticly appear in your block list... It's quite complicated, but Im almost sure that it cannot be done.http://msn-messenger-protocol.herokuapp.com/index.phpsome reading info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RainbowPhoenix 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Easy as pie... right click on the contact and choose delete. It will give you the option of blocking them at the same time. Now the only thing you cannot control is whether they have added you on their side, but at least they're gone.Cheers,Phoenix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RainbowPhoenix 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 One other thing... the contacts you have deleted will ALWAYS show up in your blocked list. The only reason you'd need to look at that though is if you choose Tools - Options - Privacy. Then you can see who you've blocked. There is nothing you can do about that one.Cheers,Phoenix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 8, 2008 Removal of Contact Msn Contacts Removal hey guys, I have the same problem, removing dead or dull contacts. I did a lot of research in the past year. You cannot remove them yourself. I found a few and asked them kindly to remove me and they did. But there are some ignorant people out there won't or are just being stupid. I hope someday we can get rid of all of unwanted contacts,and a clean msn, Mea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Hot to remove msn contacts properly... Msn Contacts Removal There's a catch to completely removing Messenger contacts. Right clicking on a persons contact and selecting DELETE does NOT remove them from Messenger, but simply removes them from the online/offline list. The only way you can delete someone from YOUR list is if THEY have removed you from THEIRS. To see whose contacts list you are still on, select: TOOLS > OTIONS > PRIVACY > Allow List or Block list Right click on any entry, if the 'Delete' option is selectable then that person has already removed you from their contacts, and this means you can also delete them from yours. If the 'Delete' function is not selectable, you will likely have to email or instant message that person asking that they delete your contact entry from their Messenger. It's unfortunate that Microsoft designed Messenger to behave in this way, thereby tying control over functionality between users. Very ridiculous, but that seems to be the microsoft way of thinking. It initially caused me much annoyance that I could not totally remove contacts who I never communicated with. Now I write to the person requesting, very nicely, that they remove my contact from their list so I can remove theirs from mine. Hope that helps, good luck everyone! -reply by How To...

Atomic0 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 I think you will just have to manually right-click each contact to be deleted and press 'Delete contact'. Unfortunately, there is no quick way of doing so unless you write your own program that utilise the MSN protocol to delete those contacts. I'm sure doing manually won't take a lot of time, unless you have lots of contacts to delete. It maybe faster to make a new group and drag all the unwanted contacts into the group, and then deleting the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 how to get rid of all contactsMsn Contacts RemovalJust been searching around online how to get rid of my 300+ contacts and it was all very complicated.. But going on hotmail.Com and selecting all your contacts and pressing the delete button on your keyboard works. It might take a while but it was really quick and easy for me. I don't know about blocking and deleting though, unfortunately. But if you're like me and just wanted to delete them all so you can't talk to them then you're sorted. (I spent too much time on msn talking to people and now I really must focus on my university work) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
