How do I remove myself from the Skype directory?

Basically, I only want people who I've given my skype handle to, to be able to initiate a connection request with me.
I am propositioned daily by numerous people overseas wanting to connect with me. I'm sure they don't have my skype handle. They are finding me in the directory. I'd like to be unlisted and only findable to those who know my exact Skype handle.
The lack of a way to inhibit this contact spam is really annoying, and is reflecting poorly on Microsoft, now that they ultimately own this. It's hard to feel this is a professional product when random people can message you right within skype like this.

I think you may need to contact customer service regarding such concern.  You may be asked some verification questions before they can assist you with your request to remove your name from the directory.

    Please do a Skype reset.
    Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit"
    Press WinKey+R
    Type: %appdata% and press Enter.
    Rename the folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype"
    Run Skype.
    You will need your password to re-log on, and re-set any options from default

  • Remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory

    Hello, can you please help me. I want you (someone who does that) to remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory.
    I removed all my personal information from my profile.
    "If you want us to remove your Skype Name from the Skype directory, you need to contact our Skype Customer Service. It may take up to two weeks to remove your name from the directory."
    I've read everything about this topic. So, please, can you just do that?

    Hi, Amy-992, and welcome to the Community,
    Because our Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service, as is explained in our Community Guidelines, in fact we are not authorized to process account-related customer service requests.
    Please do contact Skype Customer Service to file your request to remove the account - remember, this is a one-time request, is permanent, and will disable your account from further use.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

  • How do you remove recipients from the To list?

    Say you want to send an email to multiple recipients. You add a few recipients to the To list but then change your mind about including one of them. How do you remove one from the list? So far the only way I can see is go cancel the whole message and start again.

    Touch the persons name you wish to remove. It will highlight in blue. Then hit the destructive backspace (delete) key on the keyboard.

  • How can I remove items from the open a recent file menue.

    How can I remove items from the "Open a Recent File" menue. Many other applications allow the clearing of that file . Is this possible in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 ? If so how?

    See this previous topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759596
    It is for Acrobat, but the registry entries are similar for Reader.

  • How can I remove things from the home screen

    How can I remove things from the iPad home screen?

    Hold down an icon until all icons start to wiggle.
    You then have two choices:
    1.  Drag the icon to the right so it goes to a different (non-home) screen.
    2.  If the icon is not supplied by Apple as part of iOS, you will see a small "X" in the upper left corner.  You can click that to delete the icon.
    Stop the wiggling by pressing the home button.

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.
