Skype always shows me online even when it's not running
A few days ago, I downloaded Skype for Android. I made the mistake to uninstall it without logging off first, and now on the desktop version I am always shown as online even if there is no instance of Skype running.
I already tried to install the Android application again, to log in, log off and uninstall the application with no result.
On the desktop, I also removed the %appdata%/Skype folder, also with no result. Finally, I already tried the remotelogout command, and the showplaces command is giving me only one online endpoint, my computer. I changed my password too.
I would like not to need to set my status manually to offline every time I need to shut down Skype.
Is there any way I can fix this from my desktop computer?

I had the same problem. Solution (from Solution for SKYPE ALWAYS ONLINE):
Use these commands in a chat window with any person:
/showplaces - Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
/remotelogout - Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.

The/showplacescommands returns me a single device, yet I'm logged in on two devices.
