Seems that Skype (for Windows) just got even better. It now only bundles so-called MSN / Bing (aka, Bing Bar). Then, will uninstalling Skype help restore your homepage or search engine? Apparently, it won't. We've mentioned in this thread that "MSN Homepage & Bing Search Engine" can't be fully uninstalled through the traditional uninstall method. At this point, we very strongly recommend that you opt out that option of that offer to save your system performance.
Now, find out from UninstallGuides Team how to uninstall Skype manually. And, perform an un-install process through Windows Control Panel has had truly varying results in our tests & proven experience. Because the traditional uninstall utility could be easily hobbled with bugs/errors, or simply won't work as expected. Hopefully the attached uninstaller program can help with Skype uninstall problems, if you just can't figure that amazing headache out yourself.
To uninstall Skype without data loss:
1. Re-sign in your account with Skype/ MS account. You can also do so with your Facebook account. This step allows you to save any other personal stuff you want to re-use later.
2. Then, exit the client. Please refer to the below screenshots.
For Windows users, plz do the following:
1. We just assume you've saved the Control Panel on your desktop. Then you navigate to that icon, then open that setting later.
2. Click "Uninstall a program".
3. Find the target app in the list of programs. You can either double-click that application or press the Enter key on your keyboard to start the default uninstall wizard.
4. Sure you want to rid of Skype? Then, please answer Yes to the following "Programs & Features" info box.
5. To proceed with the removal procedure, you need to allow an application named 9040bb.msi to run by clicking the Yes button on the UAC alert below.
6. Please wait while your uninstall request is being finalized.
7. Afterwards, you may tell the company why you are uninstalling their product.
8. When it comes to PC slowdown "myths", the aforesaid Microsoft Bing Service can be one of virtual detritus. And, needlessly to say, you would end up leaving an unbelievable amount of junk to your system.
To remove Skype for Mac:
1. Head to the Applications folder instead. Then trash that undesired app directly.
2. Well, then, the difficulty is how to detect and clean out unused leftovers.
And if you installed Skype on your Linux, try following the below directions to uninstall that app from your computer:
Run Terminal
input the following line later:
sudo apt-get purge skype
Or, you need to get the version number of the pkg you installed first:
dpkg -S skype
Now, try running the below command:
dpkg -r package-name-here
Plan B & C:
sudo apt-get purge skype
sudo apt-get autoremove
rm -rf ~/.skype
sudo dpkg --remove skype
sudo dpkg --remove getskype-*
