Could someone please explain what this means in layman's terms
# C:\Users\<your_windows_username>\AppData\Roaming\Skype

Where <your_windows_username> is your Windows user name

As you may have guessed by now I am not a computer savvy person.

It's just what it says

It's just what it says. If your Windows user account name is "Zacash" then it would be C:\Users\Zacash\AppData\Roaming\Skype

Odds are, there's only going to be one directory in C:\Users anyway, and that will be the one you want.

I tell you a very simple way to do this...

just press win key + r, this will open up the RUN dialog,

this will open up by defult the following folder:
C:\Users\<your_windows_username>\AppData\Roaming\

so you can simply look for 'Skype'

hope that helps,
Thanks,
Friend
