Delete entry from old message

[donMaranzano]

Hi Guys

I would like to delete a specific message from a chat conversion. Is it possible and how?

you, as the originator of said message, can edit and, optionally delete it for a period of one hour after the message was originally posted

right-click on the message during that first hour to see options

the 'creator' and any designated 'master' in a group conversation can edit or delete any message at any time, except those of the creator (any time) and their own after that hour has passed

Neil, you mean we can never delete any message after an hour?  Will it be there forever or will it disappear eventually?

You can’t delete these messages using Skype interface but you can do this using a 3rd party SQLite database editor. See e.g. this:
