How to remove theself from somebody’s Yahoo friends list

chatyahoo

In Yahoo, all the people who added me as a friend at some point of time (which may be back in 1999) can see me whenever I am online. Due to this issue I am always forced to go invisible in Yahoo, if I ever use it at all.

Is there a way I can remove myself from the friends list of unwanted people and thus stay truly incognito? After getting into bad terms with some chat friends, this had really become desirable.

You need to put a contact on your Ignore List first, otherwise they can still see you when you are online and send you a message, because your ID is still on their Messenger list. Here's what to do:

  1. Right click on their icon
  2. Scroll down to stealth settings
  3. Change them to appear permanently offline.
  4. Then click on messenger (top left on the messenger window)
  5. Click preferences
  6. Scroll down to ignore list
  7. Click and in the next window add them to your ignore list
  8. Click OK
  9. Then go back
  10. Right click their icon and delete.

Note: there is a limit of 100 names that you can put on permanent ignore.

Also try:

which "claim" to remove you from their list.

All of this is untested by me. Good luck!
