many thanks for that reply! - i'll try out what you suggested
msgplus! - wont that install spyware or something - i'm sure i ran a spyware scan a while ago on spybot..and it found msgplus to have spyware - still it was a while ago
anyway i'll do anything to clear these contacts
one other question
say if i use the option to delete whoever doesn't have me on their contact list..and then it removes a lot of contacts so i'm within a safe zone in terms of contact space
will the contacts that haven't been able to be added add properly on their own? - or do i have to readd them?
i'm better off trying and seeing!
Thanks again
just tried out the cleanup - and it says to wait a couple of days first - so it can gather info accurately
i think i'll do that
because the 'has you' option has some contacts who i do have and i know have me (well i think)
so if i wait a few days is it all depending on whether if that contact comes online?
or does it gather the info another way (without the contacts having to come online)
Thanks
edit - i just did a cleanup but it doesn't seem to have got rid of anything - there's no delete option so i just pressed delete and then ok to confirm - it took it's time but then the names and everything were still there
is there a way of completely deleting all contacts that i have in 'other contacts'?
also..is it guaranteed that when it says 'no' - they do'nt have you on their list that it just hasn't updated yet?
i'm looking to completely remove certain groups - unfortunately you can't right click other contacts and delete (it has 600+ contacts in there) - and i just want tto clear it - it's all gathered in one place..just needs deleting!
Thanks!
msg plus is cool
