In the real sense of it, deleting your Skype account technically means you’re deleting your Microsoft account. And just like you cannot use Skype without owning a Microsoft account, you cannot delete your Skype account without deleting your Microsoft Account. Skype is one of the many services and products you have access to when you open a Microsoft account. So you cannot delete your Gmail account without deleting/deactivating your Google account. You only need a single Google account to access most of Google’s services. And this is because your Skype account is not a standalone service. Well, it isn’t exactly possible to delete a Skype account.
