This may help:

•Go to Program Files and delete Skype folder in there.


•Go to My Computer --> Your system drive (possibly C: ) --> Documents and settings\Your Windows Username\Application data\ delete Skype folder in there.


•Open Windows' "Start" menu and select "Run".

•Enter "regedit" in the text box and click "OK".
•Open the "Edit" drop-down menu and click "Find".
•Search for the keyword "Skype". Delete all search results.

Download RegSeeker (freeware)
•Install Go to "Search" in Regseeker
•Type "Skype" delete ALL entries
•regseeker finds.


Best of Luck,
First and most correct solution should be awarded points:

Saying "skype is probably a crapp which is already included with the OS, rather than a real program. The crapps don't show up in programs and features of the control panel."
is not a valid solution to the QA question.
Sorry for the typing mistake ... Left out "older versions of CCleaner"
Also my "CCleaner comment" was no part of my solution:

https:#a40967412 
"How to uninstall Skype;"


"Skype" is still more popular and used than "LINE"
WhatsApp Messenger is rated as No. 1
Skype is rated as No. 6
LINE is rated as No. 7
LINE was just listed on NY and Tokyo stock exchange and exceeded IPO value by about 27%.

Recommending accepting a solution that states:
 "skype is probably a crapp which is already included with the OS, rather than a real program. The crapps don't show up in programs and features of the control panel."

In my opinion is not a valid solution to the QA question.
