1370966	2014-03-22 06:49:00	Hi Team My son used my Skype logon some years back to contact a friend (with my permission) , and although I have since blocked access to avoid receiving calls when he is not here (and have provided his new details) I can't find a way to delete this contact completely and it comes up with a ghastly photo of the type only teenagers would use or appreciate. It is quite revolting, and I'd like to be shot of it, so is it possible to totally delete such a contact? Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
1370967	2014-03-22 07:43:00	Right mouse click on the contact and choose "Remove from contacts". Did you try that? I'm using the Linux version of Skype but I can't imagine it being very different.	Rod J (451)

Funnily enough, immediately after posting that query our daughter came on line from Melbourne and when I finally got off an hour later and went back to the problem contact, it had vanished, photo and all so I must have initiated something with all my fiddling about. Thanks for the advice though, it is filed for future reference. I did not see any such option during my earlier attempts. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

There is no place or feature that I can find that will allow me to delete their stupid image at the top of my screen. I've right clicked every damned thing except Prince Philip's jock strap but nothing is live, except that blasted photo! Cheers Billy 8-{) :groan: Maybe I have to unblock the contact to be able to delete them once and for all?	Billy T (70)
1370970	2014-03-25 03:58:00	According to the Skype community forum: Blocking a contact does not, in and of itself, remove them from your contact list -- removing someone from your contact list is a separate process, and is rather trivial to accomplish -- simply right-click on the contact and select 'Remove from Contacts' Unblocking someone does not return them to your contact list, but a blocked contact CAN remain on your contact list after they are blocked	Speedy Gonzales (78)

I cannot find any active link that leads to an option to delete. Cheers Billy 8-{)] Even if I unblock them, the right click option to remove/delete them!	Billy T (70)
1370972	2014-03-25 09:06:00	As I was about to say before Mrs T called me away in mid-edit, unblocking and subsequent to that, right-clicking provided a raft of extra options, but nothing remotely resembling the option to delete. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
1370973	2014-03-25 21:01:00	Is show outlook contacts ticked?? If it is, untick it. Looks like this maybe the prob if you cant delete the contact. It maybe an outlook contact, and by the looks of it, you cant delete contacts that were added from Outlook	Speedy Gonzales (78)

It maybe an outlook contact, and by the looks of it, you cant delete contacts that were added from Outlook Nope! Outlook Contacts is not ticked and I don't think this contact was from Outlook either, my son has always been Gmail. I'm getting to the stage where I'll delete/abandon the whole shebang and set up a new profile. Cheers Billy 8-:)	Billy T (70)
