How to delete skype from my phone

i tried manage applications and it doesnt show there,,, i tried running services and it was there initially,, i shut it down,, yet most times when i open my task manager to kill running applications, there it is,,, i want to just plain get rid of it,, any help out there?

Although this thread may be old I think it's quite relevant. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before in another thread or not I just googled "how to delete skype droid x" and this was at the top of the list.
Besides the fact that it's completely useless for the Droid X. When you're in video mode there is no front facing camera, and if there is mine has never worked. I tried it out of the box to figure out if I wanted it on my phone or not.
When I was in video mode I could see the person on my phone but the camera on the battery side is the image projected to them. So they could watch my feet while I watched them. If there is an option to change camera it was no where I'd consider easy to locate throughout the apps options and settings. It was also when I learned that I really didn't have a choice if I wanted to uninstall it.
I'm sure skype signed some sort of deal with Verizon or maybe even they are some sort of sister company of them. That's super that you want to include this software already loaded on a phone so people have it there and give it a shot. It is a pretty cool concept I will admit. But not everyone wants it. Not everyone wants to have a program constantly running on a phone where battery life is most important. The votes on the Marketplace are split between the 100.000+ votes.
Half were 1 star the other half were 5. So it's safe to say you either love it or hate it. But enough people have spoken in regards to NOT wanting this forced on us. Everyone knows Verizon is the best cell phone provider out there and if they don't agree then quite frankly they are not informed. Being the best also comes with doing what your customers are somewhat demanding.
And that is allow us the option to delete programs we see fit. We pay for the service, we pay for the contracts, we pay for the phones You may knock off a few hundred in the "manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) but we all know you get it back with the mandatory $30.00 data plan on smartphones and minute charges that are considerably one of the highest in the nation. You also have more coverage then anyone. It comes at a price and this is all something we both know about each other and why you are #1.

I transferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete them on the phone and cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer?

I trasferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete these pictures from my phone, and i cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer as the pictures do not show up in my files on the computer, how can i remove them i have over 400 pictures that need removing?

If you have a Mac with iPhoto, plug the iPhone in and open iPhoto. Choose to import the photos. Once they have been imported, there should be an option to "Remove Imported Photos from Device". Choose this.

HT1296 All my photos from my computer were copied over to my phone and I don't know how to delete them from my phone. Has anyone had this problem who might now how to fix it without restoring the iphone or resetting it to the original settings?

All the photos from my computer were transferred to my iphone. I don't know what I did to make that happen and I can't even delete them from my phone. I had to reset and restore my phone to original settings and lost all my iphone photos and contacts and messeges. Has this happened to anyone who might know how to fix this or next time I sync my iphone to prevent the photos from my computer from downloading onto my phone?

You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone, sync
Click Support at the top of this page, then click Manuals, for a copy of the manual

I need to know how to delete apps from my phone permanently because in order to update some of them i need a friends appleid pw because it was at one point synced with his apple id. these apps wont update unless i can delete them and DL under my apple ID.

Okay, so this is a little more information on my problem. When i first got my iphone i didnt have a computer of my own. So i synced it to my friends computer under his apple id. well then later down the road i got a mac of my own and was able to sync it to that. well some of my apps (facebook, snapchat, instagram, and google) backed up to his id. Now none of those applications will update if i dont have the password for his apple id. What i would like to accomplish is to delete them from my phone and such completely, or just unattach them from his icloud/apple id so that i can re download them under my own account. at this point everytime i try to delete them from my phone and go into the app store to download them again, it only gives me the option to redownload them from the cloud. i do not want to do this. because that means the app still wont be up to date and it will still be associated with said friends apple id. is there anyone who can guide me through this issue?

In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

How to delete contacts from my phone?

I have a 3g and I am trying to delete contacts _not in favorites_ from my phone .
Have done everything the manual saids but they are still there. These are old e-mail address I have used once from my phone -has anyone had this problem?
I need help thank you.

If you're talking about contacts not in your Contacts App, that still appear, restoring your phone as a new device is one way to get rid of them. They cannot be deleted directly on your phone. They will slowly disappear, as you use your phone. Another way to get rid of them is to get this app:

Those are your only choices to delete this data.

How to delete sms from my phone

HI all, we know that we can delete an sms in our phone. I want to create a java software to do that job. yes, only for deleting sms. Can someone tell me about this ? where can I download the api for this purpose ? I really need help from you all, I accept all sugestions, even the crazy one :)

Hi there!
I assume that you are writing a program that runs on a phone. You can't get access to the protected SIM areas. This includes calendar, phone book and SMS functionality in any kind.
Sorry, R�diger

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

I stupidly have one iCloud account but with two iphones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the iCloud account from my husbands phone ? He needs the account on his but I don't want it on mine!!

I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it. But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app. That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon. (There is no "select all" option.)

A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

I want to dump my photos from my phone onto my pc automatically, and then delete them from my phone. How do I do this?

My wife and I both have an iphone 4s. We have been taking photos, and now the space on our phones is maxed out. Is there a way for me to automatically dump the photos onto my computer, and delete photos on my phone so that I hog up the space with photos? It seems like this shouldn't be complicated, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to copy the photos to my pc, and then delete them from my phone.

Connect the phone to your computer and open whatever image capture application you have on the computer. An application you use to transfer photos from a camera to your PC should work with the iPhone. The computer will recognize the phone as a camera and allow you to copy photos to the computer, you can then keep or delete the photos from the iPhone.

Hi tieyce,
You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
