How to Clear Text on Skype

By default, Skype archives all conversation logs. The length of time the archives are kept can be adjusted within the preferences panel of the application. Skype can even be set to not keep a history at all. However, if you would like to delete current conversation logs, you can do so at anytime. Deleting the Skype history will delete all entries including instant messages, calls, voicemails, SMS messages and any files that have been sent or received.
