Trying to remove skype from windows 10?

Hi,

So every time i load up my pc skype always auto starts.

I never even installed skype and i dont use it, Id like to remove it from my system but skype does not show under the "uninstall a program" section in control panel.

So what i was thinking was to do a search for skype under my C drive and manually delete everything that has the word skype in it.

My question is should i do this?

This is a blanket search and destroy for every file and folder that has skyp in its name.

Are there any files i should look out for to not remove.

I just want to make sure im not going to be harming my system in anyway by preforming this action.

Thank you for any helpful recommendations and suggestion.
