How To Remove Gmail Chat/Hangout Contact Without Blocking The Contact
We love to talk to our friends through Instant Messages, Gmail chat/Hangout is one of the best chat world wide. We some times accept request we don’t know who they are. In Gmail you will find the block option alone. Why would i block a unknown person without any reason but what we want to remove without blocking them?. Where is the remove option in gmail chat? Even i wonder most of the times. Yet, there is no option to remove the contact from gmail chat. Here is the little trick, which i found accidentally, works like a charm. Thought to share to you.
Step 1:
Login to your Gmail account [ https://gmail.com ]
Step 2:
In the Chat Menu, hover the mouse on the person who you want to kick out of your chat list.
Step 3:
Now you can see Contact Info or Add to Contact links. Click that link, it will take you to the contact page of that person. If already contact is there or not, add them to contact first.
Step 4:
Now click More button and select Remove Contact from the options. Now the person is kicked out of the chat list in no time.
Follow this tutorial to remove the person without blocking from the gmail chat list. Drop your suggestions on the comment section.

perfect! THANKs!!!!
it doesnt show that
Vincent, your instructions didn’t work out for me. Please advise how I can delete hangouts contacts permanently without having to block them.
Can you explain where you got stuck?
This also did not work for me. I can go into the Google Contacts and delete whoever I want, but if they were in my Hangouts list they remain there. The only option Hangouts offers is to Hide people from the list. If you do that they get moved to the Hidden Contacts list in Hangouts. It would be nice if there were also a Delete selection.
Dear Vincent.
This is very nice tutorial but it has one little problem IT DOESN’T WORK 🙂
When I hover the mouse over the person in chat menu, I dont have options: Contact Info or Add to Contact links .
So your tutorial doesn’t work unfortunately.
Maybe you have another solution ?
IT DOES WORK BC I REMOVED THIS GIRL FROM MY SCHOOL GMAIL SOOOOO THANKS!!!
Click on the person’s name and open the last conversation you had with them. Then in the box you will see the symbol for Account on your left (wheel) and click on it and then click on Delete. The conversation and the contact will go away.
THANKS
