If it's still on your iPad then you can delete it by pressing and holding any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the Skype app and then press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of your downloaded apps then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.


You should then be able to re-download it.


But if you want to reinstall it because you are having problems with it then you could instead try closing the Sype app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Skype app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Skype app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
