Seems Error Code 40402 pops up when trying to remove them while in your Yahoo Instant Messenger list first.

Glitches and Updates!!! Here's a work around though.
You will need to go to your Yahoo Email Account and delete the contact's name there first.
1. Click Contacts from your Email page to open your list of Contacts.
2. Go to the one you wish to remove and check the box next to it.
3. Go to the top of the list and click the Delete button.

Go to Yahoo Instant Messenger, right click the name and select Delete from the drop down menu.

No, because when you add a contact from yahoo messenger, it acts like a phone book, so if you delete one of your contacts the only thing that will disappear is that contact information that you have deleted. They will not know when you have deleted them. i have tried and tested it.

Hope i can help you out with this
Thank you :)
