Skype is a popular program for sending instant messages and making video calls. The list of contacts can be edited by adding new ones or deleting those that are no longer needed.
Instructions
Step 1
Start Skype, enter it using your username and password and wait until the list of existing contacts is loaded. Right-click on the user you want to exclude from the list. In the menu that appears, select the "Delete contact" command. If this feature is not available, select "Block" and then "Delete". Please note that in this case the user will disappear from the program window, however, you will still be present in his own list of contacts, albeit with a note that you have denied him access to your personal data and deleted him from your directory.
Step 2
You can select the "Block" command to prevent the user from sending you personal relationships or making video calls. In this case, he will be present in your contact list with a corresponding mark. When added to the blacklist, the program will also offer to delete the contact permanently, which will allow you to combine both functions - the person will disappear from your directory in the program and will not be able to send a request to be added to it in the future.
Step 3
Switch to Do Not Disturb online mode. In this case, people on your contact list will not be able to send you messages or make video calls. The mode is activated by going to the section of the main Skype menu and to the "Network status" tab. This function will be useful for those who do not want to remove users from the contact list, but want to get privacy for a certain time so that no one distracts from business. In this case, you will have the opportunity to send messages to any contacts.
