Step 1: Open Skype
First, launch the Skype application on your computer or open the Skype app on your mobile device. Ensure that you are logged in to your account.

Scroll through your contact list to find the person you want to delete. You can also use the search bar at the top of the contact list to quickly locate the contact by name.
Step 4: Right-click on the Contact
With the contact selected, right-click on their name. A context menu will appear with various options.
Step 5: Select “Delete Contact(s)”
From the context menu, choose “Delete Contact(s).” A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion.
Step 6: Confirm Deletion
Click “Yes” to confirm the deletion of the contact. The contact will be removed from your Skype contact list.
