Step 2: Click on IM & SMS in left-hand menu. Step 1: Open the main Skype window, then click on Tools in the menu bar and select Options. However, if you are sharing a computer, or you're just worried that private data could fall into the wrong hands, then check out these quick steps to delete all of your history and set a deletion schedule for future messages.
If your computer is only accessed by you, then the message history may not be an issue. This means that every single message you've sent to someone is being stored on your computer - until you take action to delete it. When using the text option, your message history is saved to the client forever, by default. Skype lets you pick between text, voice or even video to communicate.
