Any ideas how to get rid of it?Ī: To remove an unwanted chat/instant message conversation from your Skype account, right-click over the conversation in question and select "Delete" from the menu that appears. For some reason, I am unable to delete one of those SPAM chats from a particular sender. Now and then I get SPAM chat from strange people I do not know. Q: In addition to using Skype for phone conversations, I also use it to chat with friends. If those steps do not solve the problem, then please contact Skype directly with the issue via the information found at the bottom of this URL. Visit for more information and for uninstall instructions. Thankfully, Skype has put together a page offering several steps to bypass the problem, ranging from single removal of the program to a total removal of multiple versions to Registry edits. That means the uninstall command becomes unavailable to you via your Programs menu or the "Uninstall a Program" listing in your control panel. If that doesn't work, or if you can't find Skype listed in these areas, then the problem may be caused by a well-documented bug between Skype and versions of Windows from 7 onward.Īccording to research, this bug creates a Windows Registry corruption that removes any listing of Skype in the computer's removal processes. Once removed, go to, download the latest version of the program, and follow the instructions on-screen to install the newest edition of the application. That should take all versions off the computer, theoretically. Any ideas on how to solve this?Ī: In most cases, you should be able to go into your control panel's "Uninstall a Program" section, find and highlight Skype in the list that appears, and then click on the "Uninstall" or "Remove" button beside that listing. I installed the newer version thinking it would remove the old one in the process but that didn't happen and now I have both but am only able to use the older one. I also have a newer version on the computer that I can't remove either. Q: I have an older version of Skype on my computer, which I can't seem to uninstall.
