I got big problems with Skype application on ubuntu 22.04. There was a lot of bugs and I finally decided to remove this app and switch to web version. I uninstalled this but skype still hold to something in my system.

When I am trying to execute: sudo apt update I get this:

$ sudo apt update

I dont't want to see this warning anymore. I just want to get rid off this and also know how to deal with this kind of problem in the future.

I was trying to do this (Removed skype still have apt get update errors about skype):

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.save

but:

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
rm: cannot remove '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list': Operation not permitted

Can anyone help me with this? So annoying...

Updates:

$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-jammy.list  skype-stable.list
docker.list                       skype-stable.list.save
docker.list.save                  vscode.list
google-chrome.list                vscode.list.save
google-chrome.list.save

Okay my fix was answer from that post: Permission denied: '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-earth.list'

The file was immutable I have no idea why.

I executed this command to find out this file was immutable:

$ lsattr /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
----i--------e-- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list

after that I removed file immutability:

sudo chattr -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list

and finally deleted it:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
