How come contacts I have deleted off of my messenger list reappear after I sign off and back on?

When they come back on your list after you have deleted them, delete them again and check the box to remove them from your address book as well and check to box to report as spam. They shouldn't reappear on your list again after that.

Can deleted contacts on yahoo messenger reappear on your list when logging in on another computer?

Hi, my boyfriend told me he only has very few people on his contacts list but when he signed on to it the other day there were over 200 on there. He was half surprised and half not so surprised. He said the same thing happens when he goes on his dads computer. Well, now when he last logged on to my computer there are only 11 contacts...so did he delete these people recently or did yahoo have glitch? Has anyone ever had this happen before? I really need to know if he is lying to me or not. This relationship affects both my children and myself, so I really need to know if he is lying or if it is AT ALL possible he is telling the truth about this? Thank you very much to those who answer!

How do I permanently delete a contact from my Yahoo Messenger?

You need to put a contact on your Ignore List first, otherwise he can still see you when you are online and send you a message, because your ID is still on his Messenger list. Here's what to do:

right click on their icon -> scroll down to stealth settings -> change them to appear permanently offline. Then click on messenger (top left on the messenger window) -> click preferences -> scroll down to ignore list -> click and in the next window add them to your ignore list -> click o.k. Then go back -> right click their icon and delete.

Note: there is a limit of 100 names that you can put on permanent ignore.

How can i reinstall my yahoo messenger without losing all my contacts?

your yahoo messenger contacts / friends list is stored online (on yahoo's servers) at:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/edit/
so uninstalling / reinstalling Yahoo! Messenger wont impact on this, what will happen tho is that you will / may loose your archives / chat history so if you have that enabled and you wish to retain them you will need to back them up first but uninstalling / reinstalling.

your archives are encrypted and stored as .dat files in...
C:\ Program Files\ Yahoo!\ Messenger\ Profiles \YourYahooID \ Archive\ Messages
(remove the spaces from the path above :)
but your best bet is to back up the entire Profiles directory
C:\ Program Files\ Yahoo!\ Messenger\ Profiles
right click the Profiles folder and select copy
left click in your My Documents folders (or where ever suits) and select paste
this will give you a full copy of your profiles and your archives

or if you are using windows vista
C:\Users\WindowsUsername\ AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ Program Files\Yahoo!\ Messenger\Profiles\Yahoo!ID

install/upgrade yahoo messenger, log on and immediately check your archives are still set to save your history...
Messenger > Preferences
select the category Archive (left hand side)
make sure Yes, save all my message is selected
hit Apply, hit OK

if they are all still there, then happy IM'ing :) Perhaps move the copy of your Profiles folder to a secure location and rename it Profiles_April07, this way if you ever need a backup you can easily locate them. I do a backup of mine every month, I just rename as suggested to Profiles_MonthYear

if they have been removed then
copy and paste the previously copied Profiles folder to the directory location....
C:\ Program Files\ Yahoo!\Messenger\
you will be prompted to overwrite the existing Profiles folder (generated when you logged in and enabled archiving) , just select Yes

Why do my Yahoo Messenger contacts in my iPhone keep reappearing after I delete them?

Using my iPhone, I've deleted them 4 times over the span of 2 weeks. Here is a list of things I tried:
1. I ignore them or report them as spam, but it only gives me an error message.
2. I tried deleting and then reinstalling Yahoo messenger.
3. I've also tried turning off my phone on and then off-again, several times.
4. I deleted them from a computer and also from my email account.

They return to my friend contact list regardless of the method I used to delete them. The only thing I haven't tried is using the RESET YAHOO MESSENGER button in my iPhone Yahoo messenger. Can anyone help please? Thank you so much.

How do I restore my accidentally deleted contacts from an Android phone?

Basically, when you use a android phone, you must be signed in to the phone using one of your google account. Google helps you backup and restore your contacts very easily just in few steps. Before, you might want to try restoring, I would suggest you to login to your gmail account on a PC and go to the "Contacts" Menu as shown in the figure below.You should find all your contacts in this window.Now go to your phone, follow the steps:1. Go to settings.2. Go to Accounts.3. Select Google.4. You should be able to see all your google accounts here. 5. Make sure you have the same account that holds your contacts is configured here. (Otherwise add it using "Add Account" option)6. Now you can synch all or any of your desired applications as below.7. Make sure you have the Contacts Sync button on as seen in the above pic.8. Now, press the 3 dots in the top of the above screen, and select Sync Now.9. You should be able to see all your missed contacts, are getting synched from your gmail account. Now, what if you do not have your contacts in your gmail account?If you have them in form of soft copy (any file) you can import it in to your gmail contacts as CSV file. and then sync them up easily to your mail.So, I recommend all of you to enable auto sync in your android device with your google account and make sure the contacts are synched by checking in the gmail contacts. Beacuse the contacts are sometimes invaluable to us. Let me know, if you want any more help in this.

How do I delete my Messenger account?

Messenger is directly linked to your Facebook account, so you can't technically delete the account from Messenger. You can simply uninstall the app to get rid of it.If you are not on Facebook and you have created the Messenger account with your phone number, then still there's no option to delete it. You might have an option to deactivate it though, click on your profile icon from top-right corner > scroll down and click on ‘Privacy and Terms’ > see if there's an option available for deactivating your account.
