Using Windows Messenger 5.1.... How can I delete individual entries from "My
Allow List" and/or "My Block List"? When I right-click on an entry, the
Delete option is greyed out.

Thanks in advance...

Greetings Tom,

In order for the delete option here to become available, the user that you're trying to
delete must remove you from their main contact list. Until they remove you from their main
contact list, the Delete option will remain grayed out.

In the case you wish to delete someone from your block list which is
greyed out. What happens if you add contact then delete it that way?

Hi Taylor,

The contact will still be on the allow/blocked list and grayed out.

Hi Jonathon,

What I did was added the contact I had blocked (stranger) the person
name appeared in my contact which had a circle with a line through it.
Then I deleted the contact. It removed the contact completely, at
least it appears to.
