Skype saves every chat-based conversation you have on the platform, which is great for remembering that joke your buddy made, checking notes your classmate shared, or as you dwell on the answers a potential hire gave during the interview process.
However, that backlog of saved chats can also take up unnecessary space, so clearing it out can speed up the platform.
While you can easily delete Skype conversations, the other person in the chat may still have a record of the conversation. Here's how to delete Skype conversations on your computer or mobile device.
