Skype Chat History

08.24.2008 - admin

Hi all do you know that Skype does keep a copy of all your chat history as the default setting? Kind of scarey if you ask me. I have been working on writing up a full tutorial on how to not only disable the chat history on skype but to delete all the old chats it has saved. Sometimes its a little tricky but do not worry we can get you covered just check here.

Step 1- Open up skype as then click on “tools” in the top right hand corner.

Step 2 - Select “options”

Step 3 - Choose the “Privacy” icon on the left hand side then click on “Privacy Setttings” from the exanded tab.

Step 4 - Look in right side of the menu about the middle vertically. You can see the option ” Keep Chat History for” just select  “no history” click save and you are done.

To also delete your old chat history just follow the same steps above then

Step 5 - Click on the form button that says “Clear Chat History”

Click save and you are done.

I hope this helps you all out there. I know privacy is a big concern of mine online and I would not want anyone else snooping in my chat history. Good luck

Wow thanks guys. I was getting worried that my wife would see some of the online chats I have with friend and girls at work. She might take the harmless flirting the wrong way !

But doing that erases all the chat history. What if I want to erase to chat history with one person only?
