How to Delete Skype for Business Contacts

Deleting a contact in Skype for Business is similar to the methods above, although what you see does differ slightly from the consumer-version of Skype.

If you use the desktop version of Skype, either click the Edit button and click Remove from contact list, or scroll down the profile window and click Remove from contact list.If you use a mobile platform, tap the Edit button, then tap the Trash can icon. Or, scroll down the profile window, then tap Remove from contact list.

To remove a contact using Skype for Business, go to the context menu of the Contacts tab, then right-click the contact. Select the Remove From Contacts list option.

What Happens When You Delete a Contact?

While contacts won’t receive notification about the changes, they can piece it together if they try to message you, as each person must request permission to contact you again. They may also notice your avatar and other contact info is now gone from their own contacts list.
