How To Cancel Skype Account?

(or)

It is currently not possible to delete a Skype account.  If you no longer have intentions of using a particular account, you just need to abandon it.  Below are some of the things you can do before abandoning the accounts you no longer intend to use. 

1.  If you have any subscriptions or remaining credits left, cancel your existing subscriptions and/or contact customer service to request for a refund.  Check the links on the end of this article later for instructions.

2. Edit/delete the details you registered in that account and remove the profile image before abandoning that account so no one could identify who previously owns that Skype name.  Just click Skype >> Profile >> Edit Your Profile to access your account details page.  You can simply replace the details you registered with imaginary values.

3.  Change your registered email address and profile email address so you won’t also be receiving any emails from Skype related to that account.  Check the links below for instructions.  However, only consider this option if you are completely certain that you will not use that particular account anymore, as after you change your registered email address, it may not be possible for you to request for a new password for that account in the future.

4.  You can also leave a status message such as "account no longer in use” or “my primary/new  account is XXXXX", or enter similar statement in the About Me section.
