How do I remove Skype 4.3 from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (32-bit)

Solution 1:

My case is something different, here i run two commands :-

dpkg --get-selections | grep 'skype'

output is :- skype-bin:i386 install

So, to remove i run :-

sudo apt-get --purge remove skype-bin:i386

and after that i remove ".Skype" from home directory

Solution 2:

To uninstall completely Skype from your system you just type the following line in Terminal:

sudo apt-get purge skype

And next time if you decide to install Skype again, follow How to install Skype 4.3

Solution 3:

In my case:

sudo apt-get --purge remove skypeforlinux

Solution 4:

Sometimes just doing :

sudo apt-get --purge remove skype

will not uninstall skype 4.3 version

Hence i would recommend doing :

sudo apt-get --purge remove skype:i386

and then going to home directory do "ctrl+H" and remove .skype folder...
