On some of my contacts that I wish to delete from my contact list the delete
button is greyed out. How do I delete them. I am using 7.5
Thanks
 
Greetings,

I assume you mean from the privacy tab? If they haven't deleted you from their main contact
list, then the option to Delete them will be grayed out and you won't be able to remove them
until they do so.

Hi,
Ok, another question plz: what gives that contact of mine the priority or
right to remove me before i can remove him/her? I mean, if both of us is on
each other's contact list, why he/she can remove me before I can remove
him/her?
Thanks

Hi,

Either of you can remove each other from your main contact list. But you both need to remove
each other to remove the entry in the Allow or Blocked list.

The idea being that if you're on someone's contact list, you can still decide whether they
can see you or not, regardless if they're on your -main- contact list.
