How to Remove an Email Address From MSN Messenger

Deleting emails is a simple process.

MSN Messenger is the immensely popular instant-messaging client bundled with all copies of Microsoft Windows. If you use the Internet for Instant Message communications, chances are you have at least a few contacts who you keep in touch with on MSN. But after a while using MSN Messenger, the email addresses start to build up. If you're using MSN on a shared computer, not only your contact list, but also the MSN sign-in window, can become cluttered with redundant addresses. Fortunately, clearing both lists is easy.

Instructions

Deleting Unused Contacts

1. Open the main window of MSN Messenger and expand all contact groups.

2. Scroll to the email you wish to clear from your contact list.

3. Right-click on the email and select "Delete."

4. Click "OK" to remove the email address from your contact list.

Deleting Unused Sign-In Names

1. Open MSN Messenger's "Tools" menu and select "Options."

2. Click the word "General" in the left pane.

3. Open "Sign-in Accounts and Passwords" and click "Change."

4. Click the sign-in name you wish to remove and click "Remove."

5. Click "OK" to confirm. When you are finished deleting sign-in names, click "Close," then "OK."
