I don't think you can. I think the only way would be to scroll through endless pages of the member directory.

My bf lost his account.  He had emails from me from when he was in Iraq, all his friends' contact information... etc.  Nice huh? I think there should be a better way to go about violations than deleting EVERYTHING.  The best part---I tried to delete a Yahoo! account of mine 4 times and it won't let me get rid of it.  When you want to get rid of them, it won't let you!  It says "error".

Unfortunately, they are gone because you over-wrote them. That's what "replace" means. They cannot be recovered at this point. Sorry.

You have come to the wrong place. Please contact Yahoo! Support for technical issues relating to Yahoo! Messenger. In the page where Microsoft tells you about contacting Yahoo!, there must be a link that will actually take you to a page where you can contact Yahoo!. Here is the link to Yahoo! Help:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can also try reposting this question in Yahoo! Answers, BUT in step 3, choose the category as "Yahoo! Products" (the last entry in the first list). In the next list, choose the appropriate sub-category.\n\nHope it helps! (no pun intended :P)\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

There might not be a straight forward method of doing that through the Messenger. What you can do is open your Address book on Yahoo (address.yahoo.com) and delete the names from there that you don't want on your Messenger anymore. Think that should be the easiest way.

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

Nope, sorry.  They're gone.\n\nYou could possibly get them back by doing a system restore to a restore point a day or so ago.  But I'm not sure even that would work.\n\nYou could check to see if there are copies still on your email provider's server.

You can reactivate by logging into your address, and press reactivate. But the only problem is that all your mail and other items would have been deleted. You will have to start afresh, with same Id.

I'm not sure what kind of information you have lost. \n\nIf something in the history is deleted, it is gone; however, it is not an important data, mostly history contains links to website that you visited. You can search those websites again without any problem. \n\nIf those data you lost are something you created like microsoft documents, adobe, picture, etc. you can check recycle bin and restore those data if the recyble bin was not cleared.\n\nIn worst case, you can not get your data back from the recycle bin, you can take your hard drive to specialists who can recover your data; however, they charge expensively. There are many company do that kind of work. You can search on the internet or yahoo yellow page.  I can not prefer you any company because I don't know where you live. Search for the company if your data is very important and you are willing to pay for it.\n\nGood luck

ok...there is a trick to it.\n\nThere is a green button on the bottom of the buddy list.  It says IM.  click it and a chat screen will apear.  There is a small box at the top that you write the buddy name.  after you write the name write hi in the message box.  A small warning thing will come up and say "soandso is not availible at the moment"  look at the buddy list and it should be there.\n\ngood luck!

The best thing to do with messenger software is to reinstall the application right over the top of the previous installation.  This will make it so that you maintain your contacts and it will repair software files

You absolutely can. Just go to the Trash Folder. It should be located around where all the other folders are. Most emails have it, I know that Yahoo does at least. All the emails that were recently deleted should be in the trash folder. However, they can be deleted at any time. So hurry up!

If they did not get moved to the DELETED folder then it is gone. It has been wiped from yahoo servers, sorry =(\n\nEDIT: When you delete from outlook, it goes to your deleted folder in outlook. Did she delete it from there too? If she did, it got deleted from your computer and you cannot retrieve that either, sorry.\n\nTry checking Deleted Items Folder in Outlook.

You can get it back by going to the site: http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=yahoo\n\nIt has yahoo messenger 3.0 to 6.1922

log in to your yahoo account using your browser and go to your address book.  Go to the buddy you want to remove and click edit beside his name.\n\nUnder the Primary Information section it shows his messenger name and right beside that it says remove from messenger list.  Click that and you're good to go.\n\nEvery time you start messenger it syncs up with the yahoo servers.  If you just delete them from messenger, there's a chance they'll come back next time you log in.  The above way is permanent.
