How to delete a Skype Name from the login screen

[gchaggar75]

thank you!

Open New Finder Window =>
make sure your user name is selected =>
Click Go in the top menu =>
Press and hold the “alt” key =>
then click Library which will now be showing and you can click on it.

All the best.

This actually works!! Thanks a lot, after much searching lol, btw Im using MAC OS 10.7.3

I had the same problem too, i hope this helps.
I made the mistake of clicking on, macintosh hd/library/application support and not being able to find skype.

you need to go to macintosh hd/users/'mac_user_name_'/library/application support/skype.

I could not find library on my user so after a bit of hunting found that a mac update had somehow hidden the file. i followed this: http://www.pressbyte.com/4504/fix-os-1071-hidden-library-folder/

The folder is now back and application support is in there with the skype folder.

Dont know if this is any help to you but i thought id let you know

Thanks so much! This was REALLY helpful!

A lot of people used skype on my mac with different user names. So i would like to delete all this Skype names from the login screen. How I do that?

The simplest way to do this using the latest 10.8.2 is open a finder window, while clicking on the GO also hold the option key and you will see library appear. Click library, go to application support, choose skype and delete the offending username folder.

Many Thanks from Germany @ McGiord
I just found it here: User/Local User Name/Library/Application Support/Skype/.
Right there every logged user name has his own folder. Delete the folder with the desired username and restart skype

sorry does NOT show me skype folder after going into Application Support....

Also i dont see local user name anywhere ? please help

Sorry this is NOT working for me...there is a folder only "calibre library" and apart from that when i go to MACINTOSH HD --> Library --> Application Support ---> SKYPE FOLDER is NOT EVEN THERE

Yes, i have skype installed obviously..

Dude, what is GO ??? Please elaborate, these short-forms barely make sense to the general population out here...

We opened the Finder window...now what...where is GO ?

how can i clean multi skype username list on macOS?

Hey, guys...
I meet the same problem..
However, my problem is just for multi-skype.
Though i delete other username in skype folder, then it will be clean only main skype list...In this case, if i use multi skype, other username still appears on username list.
How can i clean this?
Thanks.
