What actions/buttons are you using to delete the list? Are you doing this within the address book window or from the contacts sidebar?

This works fine for me when I select the list and select delete - it doesn't reappear. Also, have you tried restarting thunderbird completely?

Do you have any extensions installed?

I have some extensions installed, but 2 of our users have none installed.
We used the context menu in the normal addressbook view (not sidebar).

Hmmm, now that is strange. When I delete the list and close TB, then it's gone.
(Sorry, I thought that I've tried this too)

So the bug is not that critical, just annoying ;-)

Reporters, could you please test with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / trunk nightlies and see if the issue still occurs?

No additional useful information since last comment -> resolving incomplete.

Please comment if the issue still occurs in the latest supported 2.0.0.14 / trunk nightlies.
