I'm trying to delete a contact from my e-mail address list on Yahoo. It won't let me do it. What do I do?

Yahoo has changed everything with the e-mails and security and such. But when I tried to delete a no longer in service e-mail address of a friend, it won't me do it. Has anyone found out had to do this???

    ADDING CONTACTS

    When you receive a message you will see a small box following the email address that is not yet in your contact list....click on that and it will bring up the option of adding it to your list...This is normally only those that are in the FROM box...

    When you send a message any email address not yet in your list will come up in a box giving you the option of putting it in the list..

    You can do it by yourself by clicking on CONTACTS near the top of your email page and you will see where you can place a new email address and click on ADD...

    Should you want to add them to one of your categories place a checkmark in the box to the left of the contact name (after you have added it as directed above)...go above and click on ADD TO CATEGORY...once the list is brought up click on the category you want it in and that automatically puts it in...

    EDITING CONTACTS

    To edit the information for ONE of your contacts click on CONTACTS...once your list is showing click on the NAME only (do not place a check mark in the box to the left of the name) and this will bring up the EDIT option...should be on the right side of the screen.

    Click on CONTACTS on your email page. Once your list comes up you can place a check mark in the box to the left of it and that will bring up ..SEND EMAIL....INVITE TO CONNECT....ADD TO CATEGORY....DELETE....... If you want to delete more than one at a time just place a check mark in the box to the left of SORTED and this will place a checkmark in front of ALL of your contacts. You then have to go down your list and click on each check mark that you DO NOT want deleted and this will remove the check mark. You then can pick the option for the remaining contacts.....
