Uninstall Skype Application in Mac OS X – Skype removal steps from Mac OS X

Want to uninstall Skype apps? Not able to find a way to uninstall Skype completely from your Mac Machine? Is your Mac machine giving error after manually uninstalling Skype application?

Uninstalling Skype in mac is just a different approach than in Windows OS. Windows OS provides a option to uninstall application or application manufactures provides uninstaller with the application. But in Mac OS X there is nothing like uninstall utility. To uninstall the Skype you simply need to drag & drop the Skype application bundles to trash, that's it. STOP this is not the end there is more to properly uninstalling the Skype from your machine.

Skype Bundles – The Application Bundle

Drag & Drop leaves the associated files of Skype application. Normally, it is thought that all the associated files of a application is saved in the one folder but it is not so. Skype supported files & preference files are saved in other location than the Skype Package folder. So you need to get all these files deleted manually. Deleting all the left overs of Skype is not that easy, you need to find all the location where Skype has saved the files. Some of the location where Skype would have saved the files are ~/Library/Preferences/[] ~/Library/Application Support/[]
