How to remove single contacts using Windows Live Mail 2012?

Post by Gloria E »

I have numerous addresses that are incorrect or duplicates and ones from FaceBook that I want to either correct or remove. How is it possible to do this?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!

You should be able to right-click a contact and select Delete Contact from the context menu.
Best wishes,

I tried that but it didn't work. Do you have another suggestion?

What happened? Didn't you get a "Delete Contact" item in the context menu? Or did you have it, but it was disabled? Or it was enabled but clicking caused an error? Or clicking didn't do anything?
Best wishes,
Hans

I've never seen a delete contact option as long as I've used WLM 2012. Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall to see if it appears?

I'm still using WLM 2011; this is what I see when I right-click a contact:

And there is a Delete button in the ribbon:
