Profile pictures can be deleted hosts/Microsoft/Skype servers?

Why users cannot delete their profile picture? An image can be added or changed, but that's all. My question is... what happens to the original image, after that it has been replaced by a new image? Skype reserves the right to the image I download and save on their servers? I bet a long reading of their terms of use would provide me with an answer.

But for now, let's say that I take a picture of myself for my profile, then I decide I don't want the image available for anyone to see. By "anyone", I mean the Skype contacts and public Skype users, as long as Skype employees, would-be hackers or authorized agents of the Government. Keep in mind this image was designated initially as visible to 'contacts' and not made 'public', so I didn't put the image into the public domain where I don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Skype should reserve its users the option to remove this image from their account and their servers.

Or, if the addition of a new profile instead of the old photo effectively erases the old photo, then please ignore my entire argument here.

However, my hunch is that the old photo is chosen since no where does Skype talks to remove profile photos in their FAQ on photos of profile and privacy. Since Skype does not pronounce on this subject, I must assume that they retain the original image indeed.

My main concern here, it's not an agent pirate or the Government can get their hands on my profile picture, as I am not a criminal or wanted terrorist lunatic on the run from the Government, rather, it's more a question of morality. Too many software companies are obnoxiously lies when it comes to their software, capabilities, and what this company doing with personal and private information. Skype and Microsoft are not different.

All we have is your Word. I hope it's true.

Specifically, why not just include a feature of 'delete profile image '. This seems to make a lot more sense to me and others out there who have a problem with the absence of such a feature. Looks like it should be a simple enough feature to understand.

  • How can I change my profile picture

    Dear all,

    The modern Skype with features of the touch screen looks completely different from the old Skype that we used with Win 7 and earlier versions. For example, in the old Skype, we could go to the Skype button and easily scroll through the options 'change profile photo '. In the new Skype, there is no functionality to do. (That is, as far as I know). If you click on 'My account', it takes you to the Skype Web site. In this way, you can go to "My profile" and then "Edit", but the change has not only any button next to your picture to allow you to change. In short, I don't know what to do.

    Help, please. Thank you very much in advance for your attention.

    Hi all

    I write the method to change the profile picture for the benefit of those who are still waiting to find out how.

    Go to your homepage to Skype by clicking on the small round sticker in the upper right of the page. This will display a larger version of the image. Left click on this photo only once and the screen changes from a windows form that invites you with other photos you own. Choose how you want your new profile picture, and then left click on the button below, called "OPEN". The next screen will be your home screen Skype with the new image.

    Fact.

  • How can I change the name to the left of the profile picture on the start page of Windows 8?

    I just upgraded my PC Windows 7 to 8 Pro. In the start screen, I changed the profile picture on the top right corner, but the name of the left is not a mine or a name that I have attached to my PC. My PC has my correct name including my Microsoft account. How can I change the name? It appears also as a residential group name.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum the Microsoft community.

    I understand from your description you want to change the name of the profile picture.

    Check the following site for the image:

    Control Panel > user account > manage user account > change account name

  • I can't delete my profile photo (s) of the e-mail application Outlook in Windows8.

    I can't delete my profile photo (s) of the e-mail application Outlook in Windows8. I managed to remove from the desktop version, but there is a profile picture for both of my alias in the Mail application. One of them is at least five years, I do not even add another. How can I get rid of these? It's boring say least, since there is absolutely no logical explanation for them be there or a simple way to remove them. I tried the MS Community. I am not connected to all other accounts (Twitter, FB) with the exception of Google. I already have the option to disable the third party linking.

    Hi, Paul Zanoni2013,.

    Thanks for pointing out to us that you are unable to delete the photos profile appears in the application Mail in Windows 8. I understand that it can be annoying to not get this problem after trying the suggestions that you are looking for. We review and try to get this resolved.

    Please check if the same pictures as profile appear in your account on https://profile.live.com? If so, then delete it pressing on Remove. If a different profile picture appears, then it is possible that you are connected to another account on the Mail app. Can you please check it?

    Please also send us a screenshot of the images appearing in the Mail application, and provide your address e-mail affected for further investigation. I have provided a secure private message where you can download them. Just make sure that you are connected to this site to see the link in private message notification.

    We look forward to your response.

    Kind regards

  • Why can I never get a good picture on my imac when using Skype?

    Why can I never get a good picture on my imac when using Skype?

    I use the free Skype to talk to my friend in China every week. They always see me on their computer or phone clearly, but I can never get a good video of them, clues why? I see a good image of myself, but never of them. I can't adjust the settings of the built-in camera because they are fixed. Is this my router modem, which is 8 years old now. What is causing this problem. If you look on YouTube there are hundreds and thousands of good quality webcam videos then why am I having this eternal problem year after year? I've got El Capitan OSX

    If they can see you clearly, the problem is not on your side - at least not in your Mac. Could be the router or you internet connection. Otherwise: https://support.skype.com/en/skype/mac/

  • How can I delete all THE pictures from the Iphone 6?

    I am trying to remove all the photos from my Iphone 6. I have had no luck with one of the methods I've tried, including the phone for the Mac, excluding photos of synchronization.

    You have iCloud library enabled? If so photos can be rear sync. If this is not the case, try first to reset the Photos App close pictures completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the photo preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Then open the pictures, select Albums, select Camera Roll, then click Select and run your finger through all the photos you want to delete.

    If the above does not help, please detail what you've already tried. As you noted, photos synced from your computer only can be deleted by "unsyncing" their new.

  • I can't delete emails on my output of microsoft express.

    Can't delete emails from box and box removed from my exit Express 6.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
     
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
