Yahoo Contacts – Remove Facebook Friends

facebookyahoo-mailyahoo-messenger

A long time ago, I "linked" my Facebook account to my Yahoo mail account.

This resulted in all of my Facebook "friends" being added to my Yahoo contacts list.

Ordinarily, I guess this wouldn't be a problem, except when signing into Yahoo Messenger from my phone, in which case all of these people appear in my "contacts" list – and since I scarcely know most of them – they all appear in the contacts list as "offline", which is something of an irritation.

So, what do I need to do in Yahoo mail to remove all traces of my Facebook acount?

Deleting the Facebook contacts from Yahoo is the same as for any other contact.

Deleting Facebook contacts is the same as deleting any contact. There are no special measures that must be taken simply because the contact was imported from Facebook.

You can see the contacts of your most recent Facebook import by going to View and selecting View Last Import.

Note: If you have done multiple Facebook imports, you will only be able to see the results of your most recent Facebook contact imports.
