Deleting a Single Conversation from one Contact

I have to say I find this a real let down with Skype.
It is a breach of users rights to not be able to delete one conversation, and have it removed from all devices used.
I use my Skype 24/7 for work and staying in touch with family, and therefore my history becomes FULL.
Some of the conversations I have I need to keep for work reference, others with family, and non important stuff I need to delete.
It is crazy that this cannot be done, and all you can do is delete your whole history - which is a non option for me, otherwise I would loose things like customer quote details, details for flights etc etc etc.
Also deleting your history deletes all your favourites, and all the groups we have set up, eg Sales / Support etc !!!!
Really stupid and not very efficient at all.
Can someone from Skype PLEASE answer why this has been done as such ?

Why would it be possible to delete a single conversation using Mac and not PC?  This thread, in the meantime is from 2013 and the issue has been raised multiple times, yet no response from Skype.  The management of the contact list and of information stored in the account is certainly as fundamental as being able to throw away old telephone bills and account statements.  The necessity to maintain messy and irrelevant has never been explained by skype that I can find.  Please change this, as only being able to "hide" a conversation leaves one with an ominous feeling of Big Brother is Watching You.
Thank you.

  • Can you delete all the text from one contact?

    I have a BB curve 8330 from Verizon.. Lets say I text 10 people and I want to delete the texts from just one of those contacts.. Can I do a mass delete with out getting rid of all the other texts with out having to delete them one at a time?
    I hope that makes sense..

    two ways :
    1)
    home screen >> Search application
    do a search by name (use menu to select the person in your Contacts)
    uncheck everything except "Messages". "Messages include email, SMS, MMS (and maybe some other types)
    ---> you get all the messages from/to that specific person.
    2)
    home screen >> Contacts application
    view the contact, open menu and select "View Activity"
    ---> you get all the messages & calls from/to that specific person.

  • How to delete a single request from DSO in BI 7.0

    Dear Experts,
    Could you please tell me how to delete a single request from DSO?
    I mean, in DSO if we delete one request it also delete the requests which are above it. But i don't to delete the above it.
    Please suggest me this issue.
    Regards,
    Prathap

    IN DSO--its a very basic thing....
    ACTIVE TABLE and CHANGELOG tables are overwritten after activation of each request.
    So ,each new request has a realationsip with the older request.
    So in the cases:
    1.If you activate the older request it will delete the new one ,because changelog entries have been written from the data of new request on the basis of the older one.
    e.g older request  entries:
    a x 1
    new request
    a x 2
    change log
    a x 1
    a x -1
    a x 2
    so its quite obvious you can't have  a x 2 directly (because in the infocube you will be sending wrong entries by deleting the just the older request and loadning new request).
    2.If you have activate new and old request toghterh then also system will not allow you to delete the newer request alone and you will have to delete both the requests.
    I guess already someone proposed correct solution to you ...thats selective deletion...but rahter than doing selective deletion there is a better way if you want to cancel out a particular request:
    thats request reverst posting
    IN the process monitor of any particular request you can find out the option for request reverse posting..Its good for individual request cancellation(keyfig values will become 0 for that particular request)

  • I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

  • From one contact, can receive imessage, can only send text.

    My buddy has had a personal iphone for some time. All works well.  He got a work iphone today.  Added his contact.  When he texts me,it comes through as an iMessage perfectly.  When I reply to him it only goes as a text.  I send and received iMessages all day along.   Also he is able to iMessage his other contacts to and from without a problem.
    What could this be?  I tried to reboot, turn imessage on and off, deleted the thread, created a separate contact for his work phone.
    Help.
    Thanks

    Can I Copy and Paste text from one Contact to Another on iPhone 3G?
    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • Can you delete an iCloud account from ONE iPhone without it disappearing from another iPhone registered on the same Apple-id/iCloud account?

    My mother and brother made the mistake to connect both their iPhones to the same Apple-id, so a problem came up: All iMessages sent and received from one iPhone are also seen and saved on the other iPhone. My question is if it is possible to delete the iCloud account from one of the phones without it or any data being deleted from the other phone? Thankful for help! / the big sister..

    Yes.

  • How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,

  • Deleting a single field from existing Layout - Update

    Hi,
    We need to amend our custom integrator's layout by removing a field from the layout.
    However, in Desktop Integration - "Define Layout" - we do not have any option to delete a field (options are - Move Up/down, Read only, width,Frozen pane)
    (Making width - 0 is not solving the purpose since only the field is not visible in layout but mappings remain as is)
    Is there any option to remove a single field from integrator layout?
    Thanks much in advance,

  • Deleting a single item from the trash.

    Hello
    Is there a way to delete a single item from the trash, while leaving all other items in the trash?

    I don't believe so and I'm not sure why you would want to.
    Items should not be placed in the Trash unless you intend to delete the items. The Trash is not designed for and should not be used as a temporary storage location.

  • Trying to copy a single page from one Adobe Muse site to another Adobe Muse site?

    Is there a way to copy a single page from one site to another within Muse (both muse sites)?  What exactly does the "Export Page" direction do?  I can't seem to determine how to "import" that page?

    Hi
    By default there's no automated way to move page from one site to another within Adobe Muse. However, you may manually copy the content of the page and paste in place on the new page you created in another  muse site.
    You may want to look to this short video how you may copy the content and paste in place :   http://screencast.com/t/lULpqvGCt
    As far as your another query is concerned, the export page option you see as shown below :
    is used when you publish the site to the hosting service and if you un-check this option the page won't be uploaded to the hosting service or won't be exported.
    I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further query related to this.
    Regards
