The reason it is difficult to remove your signed in username and password in Skype after logging out is that there is no place provided to remove them in Skype. Unlike live messenger of old that provides a place where you can remove your username and password making your identity and privacy very secured there is no such thing to do that. It is not a flaw on the side of the developer but it is a missing useful tool that needs to be integrated into the Skype application.

While there are cleaning tools used to clear stored information from the application cache which cannot guarantee total removal of your stored Skype name and password, it becomes clear to take to other means of finding solution. If you are looking for a way to remove your stored Skype name and password this information is meant for you.
To do that follow this step-by-step instruction below.
