Preparation

First you need to understand one point: “Skype” can not completely remove their accounts. The reason for this is unknown. But we can always erase your profile. Let me remind you that personal information includes your name, surname, date of birth, etc. All this data was entered earlier during registration. Perhaps the information updated during use. Later we will describe how to remove "Skype" account.

Delete data

To remove all your personal data, you must first open the application client Skype and do the following.

  1. Go through your account that you wish to delete.
  2. Find the section “Personal data”. Here you must find the button “Change” (located next to “Change password”).
  3. You will see a window that will contain all your data. You need to replace them with a set of random characters. The program will not allow you to leave input fields blank.
  4. Click “Save”.
