Hi everyone :).
I have completely remade the article above with a new method that is more complicated but more reliable and should work fine. Let me know if it works for you or not.
Regards.

@KEG
Hi. The program is made long before Win 7, so it is only natural to not work correctly there. But I want to mention that I have found another method for this and I am in the process of translating the article to english. So soon there will be a whole new article on this same page. It is more complicated but it is better.
Regards.

Long-benefit for selective cleaning of the history of Skype. But recently switched from XP to Windows 7 64 bit.

Here SKYPECHATREMOVE complains that it can’t load the System.Data.SQLite.

Downloaded from you “version for 64 bit Windows”, not working!

PS
But working in Windows 7 32 bit.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback and the idea about running it as administrator. I have added this to the article.

Make sure you give admin permission on the program and make sure skype aint running.

DeleteSkypeHistory (http://deleteskypehistory.com/) does it safety. [Note by Admin: It is a paid software]

It creates chat backup before cleaning and you can roll everything back or keep it separately from Skype.

Had the same problem with the above download so bought an app called ChatZap here http://www.iscreamsoftware.com/chatzap.html

Seems to do what it says on the tin.

Cheers

@Jiří
Hi. Thanks for sharing your thought on this. Can you explain a little more what exactly do you think is the correct information? The way I know it, Skype stores the chat history on the computer you are using in the moment of the chatting. This means that part of it may be on one computer and another part on another (if you are using from time to time different computers). So you need to delete the history on all computers. Also you have to do it from the files not the settings, the way it is described here: http://en.chat4o.com/remove-skype-history/

Dear Nikolay,
thank you for your effort with this website.
Only for your information (maybe even for others) – you have written info that
“Skype keeps records of all your chat messages and stores them on your computer.”
I do not know whether this info is exact. When you end your chat and erase it (Tools> Options> Chats&SMS> buton “Clear chat history” and confirm it in dialog window the chat is displayed on other computer if Skype is opened on it.
Best regards
Jiří

A great little program that works seamlessly with Skype 3.8.x but gives the previously mentioned Skype 4.x error message with Skype 6.0.x
