There might not be a straight forward method of doing that through the Messenger. What you can do is open your Address book on Yahoo (address.yahoo.com) and delete the names from there that you don't want on your Messenger anymore. Think that should be the easiest way.

once you add a buddy at ur yahoo buddy list then your buddy is autometically added to your yahoo address book too . So suppose by mistake if u have deleted one of ur buddies from ur yahoo messenger and u wanna retreive his/her email address then u can simply log on to ur yahoo mail and  at the top left part u will b seeing  Mail/ Addresses /Calendar / Notepad . so just click on addresses and there then u will find ur all buddies  email addresses . If u have deleted / ignored / or blocked any of ur buddies b4 also , still u can have his/her email addresses from Addresses

If by messages you mean email, then all you need to do is hold down the control button on your keyboard 'ctrl' and then click each message you want deleted.....then find the delete key on your screen somewhere (usually a red 'x') and hit it.....there should be a window that pops up that asks you if you are sure you want to delete all the messages you selected and when you choose 'yes' it will delete all the messages for you.....\n\n\np.s. in case you accidentally deleted something you didn't mean to, the deleted messages will stay in a folder called deleted messages where you can retrieve or recover your accident

On the messenger screen click on 'MESSENGER'.  Scroll down and click on 'MY CONTACT DETAILS'.  And delete your first and last name from there.

there is no way to get your convos back unless you were using an add on like aim mutation, dead aim, trillian or 3rd part chat clients because only those usually keep records of convos. If your really lucky maybe you can have an expert search your computer and maybe he could find a key logger and open it but dont get your hopes up. Sorry for your loss

If you have the latest YM! then you should see this menu option under the main Yahoo Messenger box.\n\nContacts -> Organize Messenger List -> Move to Group.\n\nOnce here it will display a box, to select the contacts and then followed by the dialog box for the destination Group name. Hope it helps.\n\n.:Fishie:.

Just send them another invitation to join your IM.  Just explain you accidentally deleted them.

Wow, with that many I would select them all and "move them to junk mail folder"....then you can click on the "empty" button.\n\nHope that works for you.\n\nAlso, go to yahoo chat help line.  They may be able to do it for you from there.

You have to right click your contact, and select "block contact". If you have already done that, maybe you should try deleting them from your list.

Not if you have not enabled message archiving in your messenger contacts tab. Even if you do this then it is system dependent wherein it saves it to your local system. So if you are using different computers while logging then different messages would be stored on different computers. But if you are using the same computer then you can retrieve the messages anytime. The only thing that you need to do is to click on the message archive option and deselect the option "Automatically delete files older than 10 days" (which is by default)and which is in the preferences option under the messages tab,otherwise your messages will get deleted after 10 days.
