Remove Skype Extra Contacts from Microsoft Outlook

Do you ever notice there are mysterious contacts on Skype contact list? These unknown mystery Skype contacts are not added by anybody, but just suddenly appear. The contacts may be names or phone numbers that you familiar, but just that you have never added them to Skype VoIP and IM communication software.

Beside, these auto added contacts also have a different icon from the rest the actual Skype contacts. These contacts use icon which resembles an “Address Book” Skype Outlook Contact icon, unlike the normal Skype “Online” Skype Onlineor “Offline” Skype Offline icons. And you cannot find “Remove from Contacts” option on right click context menu too to delete these contacts.

These “come from nowhere” automatically added contacts in Skype contact list is actually Microsoft Outlook contacts. If you have items or persons in Office Outlook (all versions applicable - 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007 included), these contacts will be added and shown directly in Skype contact list.

To remove these Outlook contacts, simply click on View on menu bar, then unselect (untick) Show Outlook Contacts option in the drop down menu.
