Step 1: Open Skype
To begin, launch the Skype application on your device. Ensure that you are logged in with your account credentials. Once logged in, you will see your Skype home screen displaying your recent conversations.
Step 2: Select the Conversation
Next, locate and select the conversation containing the received messages you want to delete. This will open the chat window for that particular conversation, displaying your message history.
Step 3: Identify the Messages
Now it’s time to identify the specific messages you want to delete. Scroll through the chat history and locate the received messages you wish to remove. They can be text messages, images, files, or any other type of content you have received in that conversation.
Step 4: Right-click on the Message
Once you have found the message you want to delete, right-click on it. A drop-down menu will appear with various options.
Step 5: Click on “Remove Message”
From the drop-down menu, select the option labeled “Remove Message.” This will prompt a confirmation pop-up to appear on your screen.
Step 6: Confirm Deletion
Confirm your deletion by clicking on the “Delete” button in the confirmation pop-up. The selected received message will now be permanently deleted from the conversation. Repeat steps 4-6 for any additional messages you want to remove.
Step 7: Exit the Chat
Once you have deleted all the desired received messages, you can simply exit the chat window. Your chat history will be updated, and the deleted messages will no longer be visible.
Tips and Considerations
- Be cautious while deleting messages as this action cannot be undone. Make sure you intend to delete the selected messages before confirming.
- Deleted messages are only removed from your device and cannot be retrieved. They may still be visible to other participants in the conversation.
- Deleting received messages does not delete the messages you have sent.
By following these simple steps, you can easily delete received messages on Skype and maintain a clutter-free chat history. Regularly organizing your conversations can greatly enhance your Skype experience and ensure smooth communication.
