Windows Credential Manager is a service on Windows 7, 8, and 10 that stores login credentials to allow Skype for Business and other services to login automatically at start up. This can sometimes cause problems logging in, one of the first steps in troubleshooting failed logins in Windows should be removing those stored credentials from the vault.

  • To do that you first need to make sure you have fully exited the Skype for Business client.
  • Then go to the Start menu and find the control panel (settings). In the control panel search for Credential Manager and open it.
  • Under Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials, there should be an entry that starts 'Microsoft_OC1:uri=' and 'MicrosoftOffice16...'
    • These are the stored Skype for Business credentials.
  • Click the downward arrow to expand the credential and then at the bottom of the credential select Remove.
Make sure to remove ALL the credentials starting 'Microsoft_OC1:uri=' and 'MicrosoftOffice16...' as any of them could be the one causing the problem.
After this try to log in to Skype for Business again.
Note: If you have managed the settings of different Skype for Business accounts when logged in to your Windows account, and the previous steps didn't resolve all issue, please repeat them with the following additional steps in File Explorer:
  • Navigate to Users > [Your Username] > AppData > Local > Microsoft > Office > 16.0 > Lync
  • Delete the sip_profileName folder.
  • Delete all files in Tracing folder. Do not delete the folder itself.
  • Restart computer, for good measure.

    Over time, your Skype’s Contact section will probably get cluttered with hundreds of business and personal contacts. It may soon consist of people who you haven’t talked to in years or even those who have removed you as a contact on their end. Either way, you may have to clean up your Contact List eventually. Here are the steps on how to delete Skype contacts:

    Cache

    Delete Skype Contacts

    Simply go to your Contact list and find the name of the contact you want to delete. Right-click the name and click on the ‘Remove from Contacts’ option. Confirm the removal.

    Note that a removed contact will still appear on your Recent tab, although it will have question mark to indicate it’s removal from your directory. However, the said contact can still call or message you. Now if you really want to prevent someone from contacting you altogether, you have to choose the Block This Person option.

    Delete Facebook Contacts

    Upon signing up for Skype, it will present the option to merge your Contacts with your Facebook account, which essentially means all your Facebook friends will appear on your Skype contact list. While this may seem cool at first, the time may come when you wish to separate both applications.

    Currently, there are no means to delete FB contacts within Skype. What you can do, however, is to Disconnect from Facebook. Here’s how to do this:

    1. Go to View
    2. Click Skype Home
    3. Click the blue-colored ‘gear’ button on the right
    4. Select Disconnect from Facebook

    Another course of action, although rather drastic, is to unfriend the said contact in Facebook – he or she will disappear from your Skype contact list as well.

    Delete MSN Contacts

    Skype also offers a feature that allows you to merge your MSN contacts with your existing Skype Contact List. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to delete MSN contacts that have migrated to your Skype (you’ll find the Delete and Block option grayed out).

    For sure though, Skype is already working on this and we should expect changes on the next update.

    As for important calls from certain contacts, you might want to use a Supertintin’s Skype video recorder to ensure you can get back to your conversations whenever you want to.
