Windows 10: Skype Contacts: Cannot Download

Is it me, Skype, or a W10 issue?

I have tried every which way from Sunday to download my contacts, with the idea of cleaning out all that are no longer necessary, then reloading those that remain.

No stated approach seems to make this possible.

This proved a fools-mission:
Sign into Skype. On the My Account page, scroll down to Settings and preferences.
Select Export contacts (. csv) to download the file

The most I have gotten is six lines into a spreadsheet using this suggestion:
Try from here Sign in to Skype

Settings>Contacts>Privacy>View List reveals all the accumulated contact but requires addressing them one by to clean the list.

Is there any way to get the job done without needing to do that?


I am guessing that I have 300 or more contacts, so I am looking for a way to export them all, wipe them out, then start all over.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Deleted Skype Contacts Still in the People App

Hi Mateja,

From your issue description, I understand that you want to remove Skype contacts from People app. Not to worry, I am here to help you with this issue.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to hide Skype contacts by applying filter and check if this helps.

Follow these steps:

• Open People app and click on Settings.
• Now click on Filter contact list.
• Uncheck Skype from list and click on Done.

You may also delete contacts manually.

Right click on contact name one by one and click on Delete.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Cannot see WP7.8 contact online on Skype

Hello newnews:



Thank you for the follow up. Have you tried the steps outlined in my previous post? I am under the impression that merging your Microsoft account with a newly created Skype account will result in your messenger contacts being added to the Skype account.
If you are not seeing this to be the case, I might suggest contacting Skype support to see if another step is required to get this result.



Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Cannot see WP7.8 contact online on Skype

According to Skype.com, if I want to show messenger contacts, I still have to use Live account to login even after Skype and live account merged. If I sign in with Skype username, I will only see Skype contact. I confirmed it. That is pointless to merge.
