Deleted friends can still see me...

This can't be right..or is it? I deleted a 'friend' from YM friends list and the address book but they still have me on their friends list.

They can see my online status and even my profile picture, although they are longer my 'friend' list.

How is this possible and how can I fix it. I can't change the stealth settings because they are already deleted.

Please help...

Just because you remove them doesn't mean they can't see you.

The easiest way, perhaps, to achieve what you want is to add them back to your contact list then change the stealth settings to be permanently offline.

There are other ways to deal with it, but I think those would be better coming from someone with more experience using them than I have.

When you remove somebody, your name isn't removed from their buddy list.

Deny-a-buddy for the win!
