Delete Skype History Standard Edition

This is the standard edition of Delete Skype History, a small-sized and portable piece of software with a pretty self-explanatory name: it can delete Skype history when it comes to conversations, calls and file transfers.

The tool comes packed with an intuitive set of options that can be easily tweaked by anyone, even users with no previous experience in such tools.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop extract the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to run. Another option is to save Delete Skype History to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly, as long as it has Skype installed. Worth taking into account is that it does not add new entries to the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is user-friendly, based on a wizard-like window where you have to follow a few simple steps to clear Skype history in no time. You can get started by indicating a Skype account.

It is possible to delete conversations for all history or selected contacts only, specify the start and end time to take into account when cleaning history or choose the current day, previous day, week or month (for the selected contacts option), as well as to create backups in case you change your mind and want to restore the conversations at a later time.

The entire task is very simple and takes little time to finish. The last wizard panel shows the time and date of the backup, together with the selected contacts. Delete Skype History had minimal impact on PC performance and did not hang, crash or pop up error messages in our tests.

This highly intuitive application delivers a simple solution to deleting chat messages, calls and file transfer traces from Skype accounts, in order to protect one's privacy when sharing the PC with other users.

Those looking to edit or remove chat messages from their own and partners' Skype accounts may resort to Delete Skype History Network Edition.
