Hi, sorry to hear the problems & frustration.
How to uninstall skype mac how to#
I have found some explanations of how to solve these kind of issues that sound like you have to be not only a computer genius but also have endless free time which I just dont have. this time i downloaded another thing called AppTrap which is now also stuck in my trash because it didnt work either and now I cant get rid of that either! By now you are probably thinking I am a halfwit! well I have never been great with all this stuff but when I had a windows PC I managed to uninstall things without a problem. Then today I was trying to clean up a few things I dont want and ended up trying again. I then read somewhere that the way to get rid of it was use 'app cleaner' so I downloaded that and it didnt work and now i seem to be stuck with that in my dock and yet i cant find it anywhere else and it doesn't seem to do anything? All this happened months ago when after hours of frustration I just gave up and decided to live with the old version of skype. I also have a Skype 'disc image' in my trash and when I try to empty trash it says "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Skype_5.8.0.945.dmg is in use".

I have tried to move it to Applications but again it seems it will not be moved?. though it does not seem to be in 'Applications' or 'Utilities' it seems to be amongst some pictures?. so when I find it (Skype.app) in finder it will not drag to trash. why this happened I don't know as alwasy before new versions downloaded without a problem.

When the new version of skype arrived I tried to download it and after apparently downloading it says "Skype was unable to install the update because the old application cant be overwritten" so then I google and read that I need to uninstall the old version first. With windows uninstalling was always a straight forward simple operation. I have googled and followed every post I can find on the subject and ended up with more rubbish in my hard drive that I cant get rid of and still no success. I have been unable to download the latest version of Skype for many months now. I changed from windows to a mac about 18 months ago and I can't beleive the difficulties I have had.
