How to Remove Contacts Added in Skype

With the Skype application, available for both PC and Mac computers, you can instant message and video chat with other Skype users, who are known as your contacts. If you no longer want a certain user to show up in your Skype contact list, you can delete that individual. If your Outlook contacts are shared through Skype, you may also have to disable contact sharing in order to remove the user.

Things You'll Need

• PC or Mac computer
• Skype account

Instructions

1. Launch the Skype account on your PC or Mac computer.

2. Enter your Skype name and password, then click on the "Sign In" button. Once the login process finishes, your contact list will be displayed.

3. Highlight the user listing you wish to delete.

4. Right-click on the contact's username and select the "Remove From Contacts" option. The user will now be deleted from your contact list and will no longer appear when you log in. If the "Remove From Contacts" option is not available, proceed to Step 5.

5. Open the "View" menu at the top of the screen and un-check the "Show Outlook Contacts" option. If the user listing you were trying to delete was one of your Outlook contacts, it will now be deleted from your contact list.
