I have started using Skype (an instant messenger + video chat client) for not so long and am trying to get familiar with the interface. One thing I noticed is that, Skype saves your chat history by default and also logs you in automatically by default. This can get rough if you have many users for the same computer. So, here’s how you remove the chat history from Skype.

1) Start and login to Skype.

2) Click on ‘Tools’ >> ‘Options’.

3) In the window that appears, click on ‘Privacy’ option in the left pane.

4) In the right pane, click ‘Show advanced options’ button.

5) Here, under the ‘Keep history for’ label, you will find options for how long you want to keep your chat history. By setting it to ‘no history’, it won’t save chat conversations from now on. Click the ‘Clear History’ button to erase the chat conversation saved until now.

Done!
