Over time, your Skype’s Contact section will probably get cluttered with hundreds of business and personal contacts. It may soon consist of people who you haven’t talked to in years or even those who have removed you as a contact on their end. Either way, you may have to clean up your Contact List eventually. Here are the steps on how to delete Skype contacts:
Delete Skype Contacts
Deleting Address Book Server Side Cache. Its often a useful troubleshooting step to delete the address book server side cache when dealing with address book issues. This step would be used if deleting the users client cache hasn’t helped. After deleting the server side cache, it would be advisable to delete the users client cache, then re-test. For your situation, I suggest you try to clear the cache of your Skype for business and check if the issue persists: Navigate to the%localappdata% Microsoft Office 16.0 Lync folder. Delete your sip profile folder Go into the Tracing folder.
Simply go to your Contact list and find the name of the contact you want to delete. Right-click the name and click on the ‘Remove from Contacts’ option. Confirm the removal.
Note that a removed contact will still appear on your Recent tab, although it will have question mark to indicate it’s removal from your directory. However, the said contact can still call or message you. Now if you really want to prevent someone from contacting you altogether, you have to choose the Block This Person option.
Delete Facebook Contacts
Upon signing up for Skype, it will present the option to merge your Contacts with your Facebook account, which essentially means all your Facebook friends will appear on your Skype contact list. While this may seem cool at first, the time may come when you wish to separate both applications.
Currently, there are no means to delete FB contacts within Skype. What you can do, however, is to Disconnect from Facebook. Here’s how to do this:
- Go to View
- Click Skype Home
- Click the blue-colored ‘gear’ button on the right
- Select Disconnect from Facebook

Another course of action, although rather drastic, is to unfriend the said contact in Facebook – he or she will disappear from your Skype contact list as well.
Delete MSN Contacts
Skype also offers a feature that allows you to merge your MSN contacts with your existing Skype Contact List. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to delete MSN contacts that have migrated to your Skype (you’ll find the Delete and Block option grayed out).
For sure though, Skype is already working on this and we should expect changes on the next update.
