How to Uninstall Skype

Skype used to be one of the most popular Internet Messaging applications. Still, it is quickly being replaced by alternative software, which offers better audio and video quality, as well as more reliability and security. If you are a user of Windows or the macOS, you can uninstall Skype by following these instructions:

Uninstalling Skype on Windows

Windows users can start the task by quitting Skype through the application's menu. After this, press Control + r to open the 'Run' prompt and enter 'appwiz.cpl' before pressing OK. Find Skype in the list of programs, then select it and click Remove/Uninstall.

Alternatively, you can remove Skype by going to the Start Menu -> Settings -> Programs & Features menu and removing Skype from there.

Uninstalling Skype on macOS

• macOS users also need to quit Skype before trying to remove the application. After this, navigate to Finder -> Applications and drag Skype to the Trash Bin. To get rid of leftover files, open the Finder utility, and then search for 'Skype' – remove all results and empty the trash bin.
