How To Erase Chat And Call History In Skype

Like other instant messaging tools, Skype also has a history feature through which it stores all chats and call history and stores them locally on your PC. If you want to delete this history, it can be done. It’s not hard to do but the option can be hard to locate.

You can search all Skype conversations and call details by going to View->History. By default, Skype saves all your instant messages, SMS, calls, voicemails, and file transfers. And it’s accessible to anyone who can get hold of your PC.

You can delete previous chats and call details and disable the Skype history feature by changing the settings.

Go to Tools->Options.
