Re: Delete history for a contact

There is not possibility to delete the history for a single contact selectively. You can remove the whole history for all your conversations via the Skype options (last item in the "Tools" menu) -> "Privacy".

If what you want to achive is just clearing the list of your latest conversations simply right-click on the "Conversations" header and select the appropriate menu item.

I recommend to download the latest Skype and search first.
To get the most out of Skype I recommend Skype Premium.

Re: Delete history for a contact

I am having the same problem. There is no tools drop down in the menu bar. On my older computer with an old version of Skype, I have the option. Please let us know how to clear the history in the skype screen. If I can't do it in this newest version Skype, I'd rather install an older version than lose that much control over my privacy.
