I asked Skype about a way of deleting the data from the cloud and it seems there is no such option at the moment. The bad thing is that after you delete the history files from your computer and sign in, this will happen as well. Skype is starting to store chat history on the “cloud” (their servers) so when you go to a new device and sing in for the first time you get some of it (30 days worth) shown there.Ĭurrently this is not activated with all people and they are still working on it. I want to talk about recent changes related to the history. If this is fine with you, just go from the menu to: Tools – Options – Privacy, and under Keep History for choose the period and click Clear History. My experiments show however, that this is not a reliable method and the data is not removed correctly from all files, even though it stops showing in the chat window. There is an option in the Skype client that allows us to delete the history.
This is why after you delete it and then sign in, some of it might be instantly restored.
You can only delete it from your computer.įor some time now, part of the history (the last 30 days) is stored on Skype servers as well. Keep in mind that every instant message (also called chat message) you send is also stored on the computer of the person that receives it. This will remove your history and settings. This folder contains a folder with your Skype Name.In the top part of the window in the address bar input %appdata%\skype and press Enter.It is recommended to first backup your contacts (sometimes they disappear).

In a separate article I have described how to delete the history with only one contact. If you want to delete your Skype chat history from your computer, follow the steps below. These files are on your computer (for some time now, Skype stores part if this data on their servers as well – see comment #19). When you chat with someone on Skype, everything is being stored in special files.
