I deleted a connection but they still show as a connection next to my messenger IM name.?

I have myself added as a contact in my IM, next to my name it shows I added this person as a connection. I deleted them 3 days later but it still shows them as a connection. How do I remove that update info. I do not want any history anywhere with this person.I deleted a connection but they still show as a connection next to my messenger IM name.?
I am not sure whether you have deleted the person from your Profile Page. If you haven't this is what you do:





Go to your Profile. Click on ';View Contacts'; in the drop down box in the ';Contacts'; tab.





Click on ';Connections'; which is in the drop down box in the ';View all Contacts'; tab. Tick the box of the person you want to delete next to their name. The person's Profile will come up. Click on ';delete';.





If you want to stop updates appearing on your IM, this is the procedure to follow:





TO STOP YOUR OWN UPDATES APPEARING:





Click on ';Messenger'; in the top left hand corner of the Messenger Pane.





Click on ';Manage Updates I Broadcast';.





This will take you to your Profile page.





UNTICK the box ';Share my Updates';.





Click on ';Save'; at the bottom of the page.





TO MANAGE THE UPDATES FROM YOUR CONTACTS:





Click on ';Messenger'; in the top left hand corner of the Messenger Pane.





Click on ';Preferences';.





Click on ';Yahoo Updates';.





Click on the box ';Customise Yahoo! Updates';.





Untick the boxes next to your Contacts' names for the updates you do not wish to see.





Click on ';OK'; at the bottom.





Please note that these updates sometimes take a few days to clear.
