Skype crash - Cannot uninstall!

[smellyskater]

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 2.3.5.

I have had Skype running and used it loads but a week or two ago it stopped working. It might have updated - I'm not sure. But now it has stopped working and crashes the phone with twlauncher force stop errors and then many more.

I have tried to uninstall but this also crashes the phone.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?! I have also installed Go Launcher EX. Skpye still crases the phone but it does say I have to reinstall it. When I do so it crashes the phone before it starts.

Thanks for your help

Hello and welcome to AF.

Have you tried clearing the cache on the app and see if that will help?
Or delete it's data?

I'm not 100% sure how I do that! I have gone into task manager and cleared memory. Please could you kindly tell me how I do that?

Thanks

Do you have Titanium Backup? this will allow for uninstalling of any app.

Just go into Settings > Manage Applications and look for the Skype app and select it, and you should see clear cache or delete the data on the app. Hope this works.

It worked! Thank you very much - I went into the settings - Applications - skype - clear data. Had to reinstall but then it could this time and worked.

Great - Thank you!
