I cannot delete a contact from a list. It just makes a doink sound. It won't highlight "delete from list" under the Edit function. It won't make a new list so I can start over. When I type the title in, it just disappears. It used to work wonderfully. Now it doesn't work at all. Help appreciated. Thank you.

Start with this...


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
