Ubuntu skype remove

I've ran into troubles with skype a couple of months ago - it cuts out once I start a voice call. Had been trying to uninstall ever since - finally here is a way to uninstall:
from the askubuntu site: (thanks folks!)

You need to know the name of the package that skype was installed as part of. Enter the following:

dpkg -S skype

This should list all the files installed from packages containing the word skype. The name at the beginning of the line before the colon is the package name. Once you've identified the package name you should just be able to run

dpkg -r package-name-here
