I couldn't remove the account, every time that I press at manage accounts, pidgin crash. So I had first to remove package pidgin-skype to be able to remove the account.

I'm changing the status to incomplete to close this issue since it was affecting an EOL Ubuntu version and nobody has reproduced it since then.
