Default Delete Button Greyed Out on Contact List

Greetings,

I assume you mean from the privacy tab? If they haven't deleted you from their main contact
list, then the option to Delete them will be grayed out and you won't be able to remove them
until they do so.

Default Delete Button Greyed Out on Contact List

Hi,

Either of you can remove each other from your main contact list. But you both need to remove
each other to remove the entry in the Allow or Blocked list.

The idea being that if you're on someone's contact list, you can still decide whether they
can see you or not, regardless if they're on your -main- contact list.
