Unable to fully clear chat history

Whenever I go into options > privary > clear history, the history will momentarily clear. When a contact messages me, a section of THEIR messages only show up in the window. Why is this?

Hi soumyashree,
That's fustrating, I've been there before with a stuck iCloud restore, I just had to wait it out in the end. Hours!!
If you made an iTunes backup before the conversation was deleted you could restore from that.
If you don't, try to restore from the iCloud backup again. As a last restort, you could try some iCloud restore troubleshooting tips.
or third party recovery software to help you get your whatsapp chat back. However this may cost money.
Be sure to look through reviews before you make a decision.

Deleting/clearing chat history for one single cont...

I want to delete/clear chat history for one single contact!
I want to see this option with the next update! I also do not want the complicated 3rd party solutions!
What's the reason of not providing this easy thing for so many years?
You are not the one! I'll switch to Viber, if you insist on this!!!
The real pain is having no clever solutions for the paid-service you own.

Weird, so after clearing the cache a url using ajax
like this works
http://www.abc.com/?a=b
and this does not
http://www.abc.com/
Unfortunately, since each application running its own server will handle pages differently and have backend scripts that process the requests, there is not a whole lot we can do in the browser but clear the cache. It would require resources beyond this forum. If however, you can get in contact with the developer of that application and ask if this is expected, we would be happy to work with an example.
Please let us know how you would like to move forward with the investigation.Or if you would like to investigate further you can try the fake item in this add on to view the HTTP header in more detail (plain text as well): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/http-resource-test/]

Not by using Skype application, but this is possible with 3rd party programs as e.g. SkypeX:

With very little technical experience, you can also edit your main.db chat databse:

Facebook Chat - Chat History

Hello,
in the past I used the Facebook Chat via the browser to send chat massages (IMs) to single people.
Now I connected to Facebook via Skype (6.20.0.104) and I see my Facebook contacts in Skype now.
So the connection works.
But when I select a Facebook contact I do not see the chat history (the IMs that I have sent up to now via the Facebook Messenger or the web browser).
Is there a way to see the older Facebook chats in Skype?
Maybe an import?
95% of my friends use Facebook and only 5% use Skype only.
So when I can not see older messages then I will use FB via the web browser (and not via Skype).
This means that I start Skype only when I want to contact a Skype-Only contact.
Greetings
OLLI

bump, because i'm still unable to see my chat history with version 7.2.0.103.
Without the history the whole "use FB messenger through Skype " is pointless.

Recover Fachebook Chat History.. Maybe a hope.. Only the brave..

Hi Guys..
I need to recover a facebook chat history.. I thought it was quite impossible, when I found this program..
http://www.jadsoftware.com/home/ief.htm
Unluckily it's only for Windows...
It says: "If this item is checked, IEF will search for messages sent and received using the Facebook® live chat feature. Facebook® Live Chat can be found in live memory, pagefile.sys/hiberfil.sys files, and on the hard drive in allocated and unallocated space."
The problem is: where are located those files on MAC?
Thank you so much..

How do I delete or look through my Chat history? Is it saved permanently?
You can view recent conversation history by opening a chat window with your friend. You cannot view older conversations at this time or conversations with friends who are not currently online.
To clear your chat history just click the "Clear Chat History" link at the top of your Chat window. While message history is saved from page to page, and even between login sessions, please note that it is not logged permanently.

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?
[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "skype"]

Hello, dmitry72, and welcome to the Skype Community!
Sorry you're having trouble doing such a simple task. Unfortunately, you are correct in your findings - unlike the desktop version of Skype, there's no way to simply clear your chat history in one swift motion other than clearing the data or uninstalling the app. You can, however, clear the chat history of a conversation by deleting it. The only downside to the workaround is the amount of time it would consume if you desired to remove every conversation.
Your feedback can change Skype, so do send the developers some using the app! They're listening, so you may send this (or take a chance that this gets noticed by developers) and other bright ideas you may have about Skype for Android. You might see some great changes in the upcoming versions!
The option to send feedback is within the Settings menu on the latest version of Skype.
Thanks for your feedback!
If there's anything we could do more to help, don't hesitate to post again!

Unable to delete chat history

I'm going to bring this up again. I spent an hour deleting, reinstalling and clearing data. Yet chat history comes back. This violates my privacy. Please do something to issue.

Hi, MichelleTurns in the post described how to delete chat messages. However, it works only on the local device where you're removing conversations without affecting your Android device. This happens because of the reason https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12381/what-is-the-cloud
So you need to delete chat messages permanently from Skype server, only in this way your chat history will never come back. You could do this with Delete Skype History Network Edition program which deletes chat conversations from remote Skype server so they'll never appear again on all your devices where you're signed in to Skype incl. Android devices http://deleteskypehistory.com/network-edition/index.php

Private Settings - Chat History Not Fully Deleted

Hello,
I've skype installed on different machines - desktop, laptop, iphone and ipad.
I've set the Keep History to None and always clear my IM history every few hours. I've notice that even after clearing my history on my skype on desktop, when i logged on to my skype on iphone or ipad or laptop, the IM history that I've cleared on other device will appear. This also happens when i logged-in to any of the device, cleared the IM history and login to another device. Sometimes is shown the history up to few weeks back. I wonder why the Keep History=None and Clear History only works on that particular machine itself but appearing when login to other device.
Also happen when someone in my contact list logged-out then goes back online, the recent deleted chat (few hours before) with that contact sometimes re-appearing.
I've notice this issue for quite sometimes and wonder if any of the members having/notice the same issue?

I too am having a similar problem. I have Skype installed on a MacBook, Galaxy S4 and a smart TV.
In just the last few days I have started receiving IM messages/conversations I had between 8 - 20 hours earlier again but only to my phone. They appear in the chat history and the time stamp is the current time, not the time the message was originally sent. Therefore, each message is shown in the history twice with two different time stamps.
The messages that have been resent usually stay in the IM history for a short period of time, up to 15 minutes, and then disappear so the history reverts back to how it was originally. When longer conversations start to come through again it is irritating being barraged with constant alerts and on one occasion it crashed my phone. Additionally, it causes confusion if I reply or ring in response to a message that actually was not sent at that time.
I have cleared chat histories on the computer, used app manager to clear data, uninstalled and reinstalled Skype on my phone but nothing has solved the problem. I signed out of Skype last night on all devices, yet this morning I received notification of an IM on my phone so I am guessing it is also logging itself on.
I have had no choice but to uninstall Skype from my phone, which is unfortunate as besides a few delayed messages I have never had any issues with it previously.
Although there is no apparent connection to my own logging off/on activities, there may be to those of the contacts who sent the original messages.

I am unable to delete Form & Search History (it's greyed out as an option to be deleted under the clear recent hisotry tab) help!

my son has used my computer to visit porn websites and I want to delete the Form and Search history so the drop down with these sites is eliminated. The instructions said to go to History > clear recent history and then chose Form and Search history, but it won't allow me to choose this (it's greyed out). How do I do this?

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the z10 to connect to the AP redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
"Site Identity Not Verifiable"
I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
"Unknown network error 3RFINA".
I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was. If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
Thanks

Same here...
I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

How to regenarate chat history?

Hi did is Chaitanya I m using Skype last from 8 years in xp2 ,I phone(iOS) windows 8 n I have not saved r back uped any history. . how can I get my chats back plzz help me...

Hi,
There are no room console API to limit to chat history other than deleting some items manually by going to Explore tab's items. Currently the entire history gets cleared automatically. If you want to delete some messages now, you would have to subsclass some of the functions inside SimpleChatModel.as.
You can see the clear function for deleting the complete chat history inside SimpleChatModel.as. Basically, you need to delete the nodes and create them again. You can do this using PHP also by using our ServerToServer API to delete and create the nodes.
However, we plan to do some changes to our SimpleChatModel in future which will include allowing users to delete some messages. This will be coming in second half timeframe of year.
Hope this helps
Thanks

BBM - No option to save chat history on Bold 9900

I have the Bold 9900 and upgraded the software to 7.0.0.579 as well. I have the latest version of BBM but I don't have the option of saving chat history. This option is just missing from the list. I have asked my friends who own this same BB but they have this option on BBM. Help this is very annoying.

Here are my privacy settings again. My formatting in the original question did not hold:
Use custom settings for history
Always use private browsing mode - unchecked
Remember my browsing and download history - checked
Remember search and form history - checked
Accept cookies from sites - checked
Accept third-party cookies - unchecked
Keep until: I close Firefox
Clear history when Firefox closes - checked
The 'Exceptions' submenu has several domains set to "Allow" - these are the cookies I would like Firefox to keep on exit.
Settings for clearing History - In this submenu, 'Cookies' is unchecked. While this is unchecked, Firefox will not delete any cookies on exit, even though I have the 'Keep until I close Firefox" option enabled. But if I check this box, Firefox deletes all cookies on exit and ignores my Allowed Exceptions. This seeems to make no sense to me.

The "Clear Recent History" setting under "Tools" suddenly stopped working about two weeks ago and is still not working with version 8.0. I am running Mac OX 10.6.8 on a desktop

Until a couple of weeks ago I could clear my history under the "Tools" setting.
Now the only way I am able to clear history is to open the history, select all, and then delete---all manually.

Dear cor-el:
I did restart in Safe Mode; however, I DID make change in the Safe Mode restart window, resetting to defaults.
Not only did this not help, but now it is worse, as my history won't show up when I click "Show All History" so I am unable to clear history even manually.
Did I misunderstand your suggestion? I've been using Firefox with various versions of OX 10 for years w/o such a problem, and now have so many bookmarks on Firefox that I hate to abandon the browser.
However, I do not wish to have a permanent, unclearable history.
Below is a screenshot of how the Safe Mode page appeared.

Why can't I clear recent history in FF 4.0

Since downloading FF 4.0 I have been unable to clear recent history. The dialog box opens, I select time frame and click "OK". The box "hangs". After a period of time I click the "X" / Close button and FF closes et. al. Doesn't matter the time frame selected. I even tried it in "Safe Mode"...no difference.

It is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
