The program doesn't show any my messages. How to use the program properly?

First of all please check that you have selected a proper Skype account on the first program screen. If you use Windows 8 you may sign-in to the same account in Skype for modern Windows and Skype for Windows desktop. Delete Skype History Network Edition allows you to select any of two Skype history copies of the same Skype account. Please select one with most recent activities you have done.


Then when you select "Remove/Edit individual and group messages" or "Bulk edit or remove messages" options on the main screen and go next, on the second screen you can find a list of one-to-one and group chat conversations stored in your local Skype history. Some of them or all can contain no messages.


Be aware that Delete Skype History Network Edition works with messages that can find in your local Skype history and does know nothing about messages on other devices. Altered messages are distributed by the original Skype program to all other devices incl. other conversation members.


If you are lucky, you have other Windows machines, e.g., at home or in office, where your Skype messages are not deleted yet. In that case launch Delete Skype History Network Edition on that PC.


For future, to take advantages of Delete Skype History Network Edition and modify your messages on remote devices, we recommend do not use "Clear history" function of the original Skype program and do not set the option "no history" in Options.


As soon as you collect new Skype messages, you will have a flexibility how to manage them on all devices: edit or remove them, or restore original text.


Also we recommend to create Skype history full backups regularly, e.g., with help of Transfer Skype History. This easy but powerful program will also come in handy when you decide to change your computer and move Skype history with you.


I don't see any messages on second screen. The program keeps telling me that I have to select at least one message.

Delete Skype History Network Edition sorts messages by conversations and allows you to filter chats for a specific time range. Check whether you have selected a right conversation, check your time filter.


As soon as your messages are displayed, you can modify them one by one or in a bulk operation. In first case edited or removed messages are highlighted. In second case you need to select which messages will be altered. You can select for a whole day by checking the line with a date.


If you cannot find some messages, it means they are absent in your local Skype history where Delete Skype History Network Edition searches for them. The program does not have direct access to messages stored on other devices.


You still have a chance to edit or remove your messages if you signed-in on other Windows machine and did not clear history there.

Launch Delete Skype History Network Edition on that computer.

Read also two previous answers: the previous one and one before.


Can I clear Skype history on my own devices and don't touch message copies in other chat members?

Unfortunately, no, you don't. Altered messages are distributed by the original Skype program to all recipients.


Can I clear all messages at once without selecting them one by one or by date?

Yes, this feature is added in the version 1.0.4.

Select the option "Remove all messages for selected contacts" at the main app screen.


Why I can't modify all messages but mine only?

It's common sense. You cannot harm your conversation partners. But you can ask them to remove their messages from media to protect both sides.
