Hi Andy, I can tell you for sure that you cannot delete or edit your skype name. If you are not happy with it, unfortunately, you will have to create a new account. That is annoying, I whole-heartedly agree . Take care, Lyn Canelle On 12 Nov 2013, at 21:42, Brian Fischler blindga...@gmail.com

Hi all - I want to change my Skype name as I made a typo in it, but can't see where to do this. I thought about deleting the account and starting again, but couldn't see where to delete the account. Can I do either of the above? - Andy --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this

Hi Andy, I believe you have to sign out of Skype first (which I assume you have already done), then tab to where it says Skype Name combo box or something like that. press the backspace key to delete the old Skype name and re-type it in, then press enter to sign in, or VO right arrow to the Sign

Hi Lewis - The account is already set up, it's not that I've made a typing mistake when trying to sign in, it's that the Skype name itself is not as I want it, but because I tapped the sign up button, the account got created, and it doesn't look like I can edit it or delete it - Andy On 12

Andy, Things like this are handled through the Skype web site. You want to log on to www.skype.com, and you’ll find options to edit all sorts of things. Certainly the Skype name will probably be one. Hope this helps, Zack. On Nov 12, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote:

Hi Andy, Sorry - I misread your post. Like Zack said, you will need to go to the Skype website, however, I'm not sure if you can change the Skype name, as I looked in that section. I may be wrong though. Regards. Lewis. On 12/11/2013, Zachary Kline zkl...@speedpost.net wrote: Andy, Things

Hi Zack - I already looked at the website, and as you say, there are options for adding extra info, and changing pass wortds, as well as your full name, but not the Skype name, and nowhere does there appear to be an option for actually deleting the account. Hope somebody has some more on this

Hi Andy, I suggest that's the best option. I know it's annoying, but hey, we can't have everything in life, sadly. It only takes a couple of minutes to set up a new account anyway, although it would have been nice if the old one could be deleted. I had a similar experience with a Skype Account.

Hi Lewis - seems such poor practice to make it so difficult to remove an account. I've gone deeper in to it, and you have to actually contact their customer service to do this. I tried following the steps for this, but could only get so far with their contact screens, but not far enough to

I actually tried deleting my test account and they flat out told me you are unable to remove an account, just remove the profile info and it will just eventually disappear but not be gone if that makes sense. I have the direct support email address for skype if anyone wants it. Take care. On
