Re: can't delete anyone from skype.
Bill White
Hi, Kimmie. You did verify that you have Skype version 8.78? I am using Compact View, not Split View. Also, I have a delete contact, but the way I get to the contacts is to use CONTROL plus SHIFT plus S, which brings up the Search Skype dialog. Once there, I select the People tab, tab a couple of times, and the people in my contacts or prospective contacts are there. If I don't have a Delete Contact menu item in the context menu, then I have an Add Contact item.

Re: Jaws crashing with skype

I've seen that issue, in Skype and other Electron-based apps, for a long time. The JAWS and invisible cursors

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.

The way I delete a contact, rarely though I do it, is this:
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
1. Type Alt+2 to bring up the contact list. 2. Find the contact. 3. Press the Menu or Application key to get a context menu for the contact. 4. Select the "Delete Contact" option and press Enter. I just verified this process in Skype 8.78.0.159. On Sat, Nov 06, 2021 at 05:07:38PM -0700, Sarah k Alawami wrote:

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.
Michele Barbi
Latest Skype version for Windows desktop is 8.78.0.159. Not sure if it has been updated for Microsoft Store, if you still have 8.77 and you used the Store app, try to open the Windows store, go to the view more menu, and choose downloads and updates, and finally find recover updates and you press space and verify if it's get updated. Alternatively, pass to the Windows desktop one going here: www.skype.com/go/getskype-full

TO find out what version you are running, If you are using jaws, go to the skype Window, and hit JawsKEY+Ctrl+V.
Another way is in the skype Window, Press Alt+H for help, then down arrow to about and press enter. You'll see what version you are running in that dialog. John |

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.
John Holcomb II
There are any number of reasons why someone might want to delete someone on Skype.

Show quoted text
Maybe the person doesn't use Skype anymore. Maybe they don't get along. Maybe they added the person, but then realized later on that the person is Spam. Maybe the person died. Frankly, its nun of our business why. John -----Original Message-----
