Remove previous ID from Skype

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1420 / 1 Year ago, sun, january 1, 2023, 6:46:26

I am very new to Ubuntu.

When I installed Skype I used an old Id but I have a newer one that is exactly the same as my hotmail email. Every time I open Skype it is opened with the older ID but I would like to change this.

I can open another instance by using skype --secondary but I would like to remove the first one because I want to Lock to Launcher with the newer ID.

I read some forums telling about deleting the ./Skype folder but I don't know which folder that is.

It's .Skype, a hidden folder in the home directory.

Hit ctrl+h to reveal hidden folders, or run rm -r .Skype in a terminal window to remove it.
