How to make friends on messenger?

How can I make it so deleted friends on my messenger can not ever see me?

• I deleted a friend on messenger. I want to make sure she does not see me at all. Now that she is deleted I don't know what she can see on her list. I can't do stealth settings anymore for she is gone and not listed anymore. I could block her... but I don't want her to see me at all on or off line. Can I do this and how?

• Answer:

  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.
