Delete Pending Contact Request

I'm not seeing the right answer to this anywhere.
I made a contact request to the wrong party. It's still pending, and I wish to delete this.
Unless I click on the contact in the far left column, I can't take any action. The only two apparently relevant actions available when I right-click on the contact name are Delete Conversation and Show Profile. But Delete Conversation doesn't really do anything in this case, and there is no action under profile available to delete this contact.
So what is the solution?

on Skype main screen:
click contacts (left sidebar) > sort through contacts and find persons name > right click and hit delete contact

Friends Suddenly Became Pending Contact Request

A friend of mine who had appeared "online" earlier tonight suddenly became "pending contact request". What does this mean? Am I deleted or blocked by him? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!

I have just had the same issue whereby many contacts became "request pending" most of whom would not disconnect me! I think skype has been comprised? I suggest that the forum managers escalate this issue....!

Pending Contact Request

I can't talk to my parents in another country on video Skype...because there is no way to accept their contact request! The tutorial looks nothing ike my Skype screen. So upset, it's Mothers Day and I couldn't see my mum! Please...any suggestions? Thanks...

Suddenly, after all the headache of trying to add folks and they add me, someone requested that I add them as a contact; then, what do you know the option displayed in the chat window of the requester to accept or decline; also, they were able to add me, woohoo! Then I got a couple other request which verified that request is working back to normal. That is what I'm talking about is action on Skype's behalf rather than to lose customers who do enjoy using Skype. Guess I will keep my paid subscribed phone number as a way of thanking Skype for the service and do not mind paying a SMALL fee to support the Skype platform and the technology. Hope everyone elses is working now.

Can't Decline or Delete Messenger Contact Request

Not being familiar with BBM, I recently added it to my phone with no security options turned on. Friday I received a ton of requests (from unknown people) to add mine to their contact lists, which I declined. They each were removed from my message list when I declined them. However, one of the messages will not go away. I have clicked "decline" and have attempted to delete the message, neither of which has had any effect.
I have since blocked incoming PIN messages in my firewall with exceptions of "Contacts" and "Specific Addresses".
Any idea how to get rid of this one message?
Did someone somehow obtain my PIN or were all of the requests I received simply broadcasts that I picked up?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To delete the message from your Messages folder, try this:
Open your Messages folder. Highlight the date just above the message in question. Click the menu button, which is the BB button to the left of the trackpad. Select Delete Prior>Delete. If the message remains there, remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds later. The message should be gone upon reboot.
As for someone getting your PIN, there is really only way for them to do so and that's for you to give it to them. If this is not the case, perhaps you're using a secondhand phone in which the previous owner gave his/her PIN to others? If it's neither of those options, then I'm out of ideas.
Hopefully we get rid of that message at the very least.

Pending contact request problemz

I've chatted with three support people about this today -- to no avail.
I'm on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and my friend is using an iPad 3. We both downloaded the app from Skype last night. I sent her a request to be on my contact list, but she never received it. She sent me a request as well, which I've never received.
I redownloaded the Skype app, cleared the cache, resent the request to add several times. My preferences are set to the default settings. She never gets a notice. When she opened the app this morning it kept asking her for money -- we're trying to use the free version.
Can anyone help??? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Sadly to say, but there appears that there will be no reply to this problem. Looking back at previous concerns and inquiries, their has been no resolution or acknowledgement posted. Well, am trying other video conferencing solutions. What good is having a program that there is no way to accept friends. I will be cancelling my subscription to own a phone number

Accidentally deleted pending certificate request OWM

Hi,
My SSL certificate had expired. so i opened the wallet manager and generated a new certificate request in order to renew the certificate. I've got the new certificate now but accidentally removed the old certificate request from the wallet while trying to import the certificate. I already have a copy of the certificate request exported to a file so how can i restore the request in order to be able to import the new certificate.
BR,
omari

You cannot import a cert if the request is gone. This is one of the underlying security principles of the Wallet mgr.
The best thing to do after a request is generated is to copy the ewallet.p12 to a safe place in order to do some additional tests while waiting for the cert.

Contact Requests from Folks Already On List

So my Skype just automatically updated to the newest version, and for some reason, two of the folks on my contacts keep cropping up every time I sign in saying they've "sent a contact request." The thing is, I've had one on my list for about 3 years and the other since last month, nobody else is displaying this problem. I'll close the conversations and it'll prompt me to accept or decline their contact request. No matter what I click, they're still on my list (which is fine), but whenever I open up the conversation with them, they'll still apparently have a "pending contact request." It isn't impeding my ability to message them, which is nice, but it is interfering with my message notifications and it's just a hassle. Is there any way to resolve this? I've reset and even re-installed Skype to see if that fixed the problem, and nothing doing.

I'm having the same problem! I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. It's just really annoying, but not hurting my ability to contact my friends and family.

Contact request showing a pending IM message with ...

Hi - received a contact request today from a person unknown to me.
When I look at the request, there is an IM showing in the history, with the status 'pending', that looks like it has come from me (it has my actual name at the top of the message line, not my user name).
That is odd all by itself, but the content of the IM is one of my passwords, used in other applications/programs.
I have declined the request - and have noticed that the person requesting is offline.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
I have now changed all apps / progs that use this password but it is a little worrying. How did they know my password? It absolutely is not easy to guess and I have never disclosed it.
I am running Skype on a iMac, iPhone 4S and an iPad 2.
Any suggestions on what is going on here?
thanks....

but this means ill have to re enter all my contacts and passwords. i store all my invoices on my phone via an invoice app. restoring from new would mean i would lose all that info which i cant afford to do. thanks for the help tho. maybe ill just have to ride it out till the cache clears out.

Skype sent out contact request without permission?...

Alright so I contacted support over this and they just said they couldn't answer my question because they didn't know. I guess I'm not searching for answers anymore but just seeing if this has happened to anyone else or if someone can find some error I made to make this happen ... Thanks for your time in reading.
SO... Awhile back I deleted my ex from Skype and blocked him. I would like to mention I had him blocked numerous times but he could still send a contact request...... Anyways... I had him deleted and blocked and then three days ago, randomly out of NOWHERE... I look at my contacts and he's in them- saying that IVE sent a contact request to HIM.................... And it offered the option to resend it. I flipped out so hard because it really does make me look crazy if he got a contact request from me............ Out of nowhere ....
I can only hope it was a one sided thing and he never got the receiving end of that message. I had him blocked but nowhere in the chat near 'resend request' did it say 'this contact is blocked' as I seem to remember it doing before.
Ugh.. This situation had me so fearful that it would start like, spamming contact requests or later on doing something else because if Skype support can't explain it, then im just gonna just go ahead and say my account was possessed. To try and counter this, I deleted the account today and made a new one.
So yeah, anyone have any similar experience? ... Did I do something critically wrong that somehow did this? Is it possible /he/ was the one sending the request? (OFC that doesn't make sense because it was giving me the option to resend and saying it was pending.) also, if it's pending does that mean he hasn't accepted and the request was waiting there or could it be rejected and still say pending?
Thanks for your time xoxoxox ♡

Today I had a new person added to my contacts list, (not recent conversations), that I did not approve. I have had people I don't know randomly request to be added but this is the first time where someone was added without my consent.
First off, I would like to report this individual since he has obviously circumvented Skype security features. He is soliciting his S. African business through his profile. How do I go about reporting this because aside from this forum on security I can't find a way to report on your website. I have read several other users post similar stories dating back a few years and I am surprised this is still an issue although I am grateful I have never had this happen before.
Here is the information on the unsolicited contact:

How do I delete pending itune purchases?

How do I delete pending itune purchases?
When I download an app, itunes tells me I have 24 pending purchases. I use a giftcard to make purchase, but now I'm apprehensive to load another card.
Your help is appreciated.

You can finish the download to your computer, which is faster, or you can contact support and request to remove the items on you download queue.

Having items on your download queue should not affect the available store credits on your account.
Hope this help.

Deleting random contact invites?

Dear Skype and everyone here,
I wrote this all but lost it as i signed in...
Over time i have had random (bot?) contact requests, i had declined/blocked but they are in my blocked list and wanted the spam removed of invites. I deleted my recent history hoping it would remove them, but when i unblock these random bots they appear in pending/recent with a '?' still with pending. I can't find anyway to remove these, is there anyway to remove these bots completely as it is rather annoying and should be possible really?

I just didn't really like seeing huge lists of unwanted requests (Even in a block list) I'm not sure what would fully constitute as abuse, they merely requested so always assume that they are phishing accounts etc... If the said spam account became unusable would they eventually disappear from the block list? I only have one contact on my account, my other half so am often shocked if i get a request randomly.
How can they find your details to send a request as i have everything to my knowledge set to private on my account!
Thanks for your reply again though Cap!

Pending bbm requests

Hi, I am experiencing some freezing issues with my bbm, I deleted all contacts to uninstall my bbm and reinstall it but learned I cannot do this. I have over 1800 pending requests and can only delete one at a time while restarting my bbm between each delete, is there any way to delete all?

wow! That's a lot of pending requests! Have you fixed this issue yet?

New contact requests not showing up.

Normally under contacts on the left new contact requests appear now they are not. Skype version 5.6.0.143 Mac osx version 10.5.8 I tried deleting all remenants of skype under application support and redownloading yet nothing. Please help!!

I asked an overseas friend to be on Skype, but he did not show up in my contact list. He received an email from Skype and carried out the instructions, I am on his contact list.
I asked him to send me an invitation - it came - I accepted - All is well now.

Re: How do I delete blocked contacts appearing on ...

Urgent!!!! I hope this gets to Microsoft ASAP... My son who is a minor IS receiving these girlcam requests.... 2 of them so far and they are blocked and we deleted their chat history. They asked him for his credit card details of all things to verify his age. They say they are searching him on the members directory. They shouldn't be able to contact him at all if they are not on his contact list.
Please add age related restrictions to contact usage Microsoft and please fix the above issue of not being able to delete blocked contacts from the home screen. We cleared the chat history already.
Thanks.

Hi, Tazzajb, and welcome to the Community,

Thank you,
Elaine
