Do you want to know how to clear Skype of messages? In this article you will find a detailed description of how to delete messages on Skype. Everyone has their own reasons for deleting: someone wants to delete their personal data that they wrote in correspondence or simply clear Skype of messages.

Instructions on how to delete messages on Skype

I’ll say right away that it is possible to delete and edit texts that were written no more than 1 hour ago. How to do it? Right-click on the desired message and select the option that suits you.

We move on to completely erasing the entire history of calls and correspondence on Skype. Launch Skype and after loading the program, go to the top panel and we need “Tools”. Next, click “Settings”.

On the left side there is a “Security” tab, click on it. Next we are interested in the “Open additional settings” button.

We have different settings options open to us, but we need a “Clear history” button. By clicking on it, you will delete all correspondence with all subscribers who are in your contact list.

After clicking the button, a warning window pops up; if you are satisfied with everything, click “delete”.

You can also configure automatic history deletion here. If you want to control the deletion of messages yourself, then you can skip this step. If you want to set the automatic mode, go further.

Here, next to the “Clear” button, there is “Save history.” I draw your attention to the fact that here you can select a time interval that suits you, after which all your messages written on Skype will be deleted. Set the parameter you need and click “save”.
