Why can't I delete contacts from my contact list?

How do i delete someone off of my contacts list if when i press delete contact doesn't go away?

• Would appreciate your help. I believe I have yahoo classic. I have been trying for a while now to delete friend from my contacts because husband swore there was something going on that never was. No matter what i did or say to convince him otherwise. Decided it was not worth the aggravation and turmoil to keep friend on as contact so have been trying to delete him. My husband since has left the house but even so, i still want my friend removed. please help i haven't been the cheater, husband has that's why he moved.

• Answer:

  If you hold your cursor on the contact's pic/avatar or name, a pop-up will appear that has "Remove Contact" in blue letters at the bottom left of the box - click on that and they are removed. (I am not sure what you mean by "when I press delete . . ") If they are re-adding themselves then do the same in the "Fans" list, except when the box pops up click on "Block User". This prevents them from re-adding you.
