I've deleted the same contact (Jabber) four times so far today. When I first deleted the contact he simply moved from the group he was in to a "Buddies" group. I've deleted him from that group three times so far today. Goes away for awhile, but before long I see him listed once again. How do you delete a contact permanently?

Adium 0.77

try Control-clicking on the jabber contact. There should be a "delete: option in that menu

I've done that, four times so far.

hmm, that usually unauthorizes Jabber contacts, and deletes them for me. Try updating to the beta http://www.adiumx.com/beta.html It has an updated version of libgaim that might help

Thanks, I'll use Psi to delete him next time he returns. I use Adium for work contacts; it's too much to risk on a beta. :-)

cheers


Update: He came back fifth time. I launched Psi and he's not listed there. So it's an Adium issue. Guess I'll have to wait till the next version is out of beta (yawn).

Try deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/libgaim/blist.xml

Well, I didn't feel like rentering all my contact names (which this looks like it stores) so I deleted the entry for the offending contact. Wonder why Adium wouldn't delete it. :-/
