Deleting a Group
Before deleting a group from your Messenger List, you must either delete the contacts that the group contains or move them to another group. Once the group is empty, you can delete it.
Here’s How
In your Messenger List, empty the group of contacts in one of the following ways:
Delete the contacts as shown in the Working With Contact Information tutorial.
Move the contacts to another group. (Remind me how.)
Select the group, then right-click and select Delete Group from the displayed menu or select Organize Messenger List > Delete Group from the Contacts menu.
Confirm the deletion.
Yahoo! Messenger removes the group from your Messenger List.
Note: Deleting a group can’t be undone.
What’s Next
You can create, rename, and delete groups as needed, and move contacts from one group to another at any time.
Words to Know
- Contact: a person with whom you interact; someone to whom you might want to send an email or instant message.
- Group: one or more contacts that you organize together under one unique name, similar to an email list. By default, Yahoo! Messenger adds contacts to the "Friends" group included in the application.
- Messenger List: a list of coworkers, friends, family, and associates who also use Messenger.
