How to deleat a live: e-mail address when Outlook.com will not allow you to deleat the contact?

I have 2 live: e-mail addresses on my personal Windows Essential Mail contact list. Neither contact will delete. I have attempted several things. I closed my Skype account. Obviously Messenger no longer works and I have closed the MSNTV2 account I had. But, these 2 e-mail addresses are ~still~ in my personal contact list on my PC. Outlook will not allow me to delete either of the these e-mail addresses because they are "associated with another account with Skype". How does one get rid of e-mail accounts when Outlook.com will not permit one to delete the e-mail address?
