    Ok. So my question is little different. Actually, I successfully removed all skype names from Skype folder. But I made an instance of skype (let's called it second instance) using sudo /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype . And logged in there.

    Now my question is though I deleted skype names, I can see the skype names of second instance when I again start it. So I want to delete those skype names of second instance.

    P.S. - I uninstalled Skype and re-installed it. But still can see the skype names in second instance.

    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the bottom of the download page :

    • Mac OS X v10.3.9 (Panther) or newer.
    • For higher-resolution video a faster processor (Core 2 Duo) and a broadband connection with at least 384kbps upload speeds.
    • 512 MB RAM.
    • 100 MB free disk space on your hard drive.
    • Either a built-in or external microphone is required for voice calls.
    • Either USB or regular headset if your Mac does not have a built-in microphone.
    • Download drivers if you are using an external webcam.
    • Internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls).

    Technical details :

    • Version 2.8.0.851 File size 44 MB. Official release. Release date: February 10, 2010. File name: Skype_2.8.0.851.dmg

    The problem is not only the version on Mac OS X, but the hardware requirements.

    Does your computer meet them ?
