This is a known Skype bug which has been discussed extensively in the forums. Its usually left over from having used one of the Skype Kit apps like the GW Micro app or countless others. There seems to be no permanent fix for it. If you log out of the account before signing out it seems to help, but even so it doesn’t entirely resolve. happens to millions of people though including my husband.
