Deleting Hotmail Contacts

In my hotmail account it won't let me delete ANY of my contacts. I select one, press Delete, and it comes up with the message: Are you sure you want to delete the selected items(s) . I click (OK) and it refreshes, with the contact still there, undeleted, no matter what I do. Can anyone help me please

    You are a star- thanks a lot! I can confirm this works.

    You're a lot quicker off the mark than MSN support.....

  • Jayash

    I've been having much the same problem and couldn't download the mozilla firefox. But if you click on the address you wish to delete, then select edit, you can then delete from this window. Good luck!

    This has been an issue for me for months- I recently submitted a ticket to support but haven't heard anything. does anyone know of any progress or if MSN have even acknowledged this lack of functionality

  • Vikram Sachdeva

    Try this one:

    close all windows programs:
    -internet explorer
    -msn

    Browse with mozilla firefox and go to contacts and delete your selected contacts. It will work!

    I am having exactly the same problems. It is a real pain in the a@@ as I accidentally saved a whole load of random email addresses into my address book by mistake! Did you have any joy sorting it out
