Account 1
Account 2

On account 2, I blocked account 1 then removed account 1 from my contact list and the clean up list on account 1 still says that account 2 has me on their list.
You'll need to signout first. Sign out and back in with both accounts. If that doesn't work, check again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work tomorrow you probably have your answer. Unblock and repeat the signin/signout/wait to check if that helps.

Plus! totally relies on what the server says (Tools > Options > Privacy, like blessedguy said), except from Last Online and Last Chat.

It's your own choice, but they definitely don't have you on their list at the moment. But you can still start a conversation with them, they just won't start a conversation with you. Bots for example usually don't have you on their list, but you can still use them.

Also, since someone can still have you on their list but have you blocked permanently it's also useful to sort the list by Last Online. If someone hasn't been online for over 6 months it's likely they just stopped using that account (or stopped using messenger completely), or blocked you. But keep in mind the Last Online is only from when you and that contact were both signed in. Plus! can't see if another contact was online when you weren't there.
