How to delete correspondence in messages. How to delete messages on Skype

How to recover and return deleted correspondence in Odnoklassniki, as well as delete it all at once in the interlocutor’s messages? Read about these nuances in the material below.

All social networks, Odnoklassniki is no exception, rely on messaging. These can be notes in the feed, addressed to all users and the universe. But personal correspondence is much more important. Sometimes it happens that a virtual dialogue goes so far that it may well have a negative impact on real life (if someone else sees it). Or the reason is more prosaic. You were in close contact with a friend, but now you have become friends and want to destroy all traces. Then the question arises of how to delete correspondence in Odnoklassniki.

Fortunately, this option is available on the site and is available to every user. In order to completely remove dialogue with a specific interlocutor on the computer, we do this:

Open the messages section in your profile;

We are looking for a dialogue that you want to delete not only from your memory, but also from your computer;

Select the settings option in the panel located in the upper right corner of the page, it is hidden behind the “i” symbol;

In the new window, select the “Delete chat” option when only two users took part in the conversation, or click on “Leave chat” if several people were talking;

If you still want to delete the correspondence, confirm your decision again.

For those who are used to accessing the site through a mobile device, the procedure for deleting all correspondence in Odnoklassniki at once will be a little more difficult to complete. The phone application does not have such a function. Therefore, you will have to remove each message from the dialogue separately and do this as many times as the letters need to be destroyed. You can, however, switch to the full-scale version on your mobile device and try to delete the entire chat. But the computer version on the phone works very poorly. So, most likely, the operation will not be successful. If all else fails, read our instructions for cleaning dialogs on your phone and get down to business:

Now you have learned how to delete correspondence in messages in Odnoklassniki. Having successfully dealt with the destruction of compromising or simply unpleasant dialogue, you think that this is all over. Make no mistake. The messages you erase remain in virtual space. They will be saved in the “Messages” section of the person with whom you once talked. But only if your interlocutor did not want to get rid of the correspondence.

Therefore, many users are thinking about the problem of how to delete correspondence in Odnoklassniki with an interlocutor. This problem is really serious. The only way to get inside someone else's profile in order to delete a dialogue or message is by hacking it illegally. This is not only against the rules, but also requires special knowledge and skills. Sites that offer such services almost never deliver on their promises. But they lure out your money, personal data and other information useful to them. As a result, your page may suffer from hackers.

We present very cheap classes in Odnoklassniki. With their help, you can get additional activity on your page or community, which will have a positive effect on your online ranking.

So is it possible to delete correspondence in Odnoklassniki from an interlocutor? Still, there is a positive answer. But this option is not suitable for sensitive users who really value virtual treasures. If you need to remove any dialogue on a social network completely, everywhere and forever, use a drastic method - destroy your account. After this, everything you ever wrote or did, all your photographs, ratings and comments will evaporate even on other people’s pages. You can read about how to delete a page on Odnoklassniki here.

But before you start liquidating, think about whether the game is worth the candle. Perhaps it’s enough just to remove negative correspondence from your page, then block, in other words, blacklist the person who has become unpleasant to you. Then he will no longer be able to write to you or even access your profile. We will give instructions on how to do this.

And finally, about whether it is possible to destroy or change a message already sent to your interlocutor in Odnoklassniki. Once he opens your message, you can’t change anything. But if you act decisively and quickly, the text can be corrected or even completely erased after it is sent immediately. What to do to prevent your recipient from reading something unnecessary:

We place the cursor on the message that we will edit;

A symbol will appear on the left side and above, select “Pencil”;

When the already sent text opens in a new window, adjust it as you wish, or simply delete it;

Send the corrected message as usual.

After this, your virtual interlocutor will receive an edited letter. But he will be able to see that you changed something in the text. The editor's pencil will appear on his page above the message on the right.

Please note that you can only change a message that was sent not too long ago. For example, after a day, editing is no longer possible. Therefore, when sending messages on the Internet, be careful. In the virtual world, folk wisdom also applies: the word is not a sparrow - you won’t catch it if it flies out.

Let’s say you not only carefully read everything that was said at the beginning of the article, but also managed to test this knowledge in practice. Moreover, they destroyed the dialogue in Odnoklassniki, and maybe even their entire page, succumbing to an impulse, without thinking carefully. Perhaps now you have already regretted getting rid of old letters. Then it’s time to ask a new question: how to recover deleted correspondence in Odnoklassniki. If we are talking about a radical method - deleting the entire profile - you can return it within 3 months. How to restore a page in Odnoklassniki is discussed in our other article.

And now about the correspondence you erased, which you suddenly wanted to see again. You won't be able to get her back on your own. But you remember that destroyed messages remain in your interlocutor’s profile. If you continue to communicate, ask him to copy the letters and forward them to you.

It also happens: you didn’t remove anything on your own initiative, but the correspondence suddenly disappeared, as if by magic. Try to remember, perhaps you yourself once decided to hide it from the page. This function is available in the section.

If this is the case, you won’t have to think long about how to recover deleted correspondence in Odnoklassniki. Write a new message to this person, send it and refresh the page. After this, the hidden dialogue should reappear.

Have you done everything, but still haven’t seen the correspondence? So the reason is different. Most likely, your recipient left the site and deleted the page. Then the dialogue is lost forever. Or she was blocked for some violations by the Odnoklassniki administration. And in this case, the dialogue with this interlocutor will again appear on your page when he returns control of his profile.

In Skype, you cannot completely delete a conversation. Even if you delete the history of messages from your account, they will still remain with the interlocutors with whom you had a virtual dialogue (they will be stored on the messenger server). Also, the standard functions of the application do not provide the ability to perform selective cleaning (that is, you cannot delete a specific conversation). However, there are options to clear your entire history. Let's take a closer look at how to use them.

Enjoy your conversations on Skype!

For a long time, Skype has maintained its position as a leader in the virtual communication application market. Today, this video chat program is available to work not only on a PC, but also on an iPad and iPhone, on a tablet or smartphone on Android and Windows Phone, as well as other modern devices, including smart TVs and game consoles with Internet access.

However, despite the widespread use of this application, very few users are able to use its functionality to the fullest. Not for nothing, one of the most frequently asked questions when working with the program is the following: how to delete correspondence on Skype?

If during the conversation you suddenly decide to delete your message, you can do this by right-clicking on it and selecting “Delete” from the menu.

The result will look like this:

You can delete messages in this way only within an hour after sending them to the user. We also note that in this way you can only delete personally sent information (that which was written/sent by you).

How to delete all messages in all conversations?

To delete correspondence on Skype for the entire period of its use, you must:

Login to Skype.
On the top menu bar, go to the “Tools” tab.
In the list that appears, select “Settings”.

Select the “Security” tab in the menu on the left.
On it you need to select the “Security Settings” tab and click “Clear History”.

After these steps, a message will appear warning that all entries will be deleted. To confirm your intentions, click on the “Delete” button.

Please note that by using this method, you will delete all correspondence on Skype completely. It will be impossible to recover any important data deleted along with it.

If you want to clear your conversation history selectively, use the following method.

How to delete the history of one conversation?

Skype chat helper and SkHistory

Third-party utilities will help you clear the history of messages on Skype with one person, and not all contacts at once: Skype chat helper or SkHistory. The principle of their operation is the same.

Let's look at how to delete a conversation with an individual user on Skype, using the example of using Skype chat helper.

We remember (or better yet, write down) the name of the contact on Skype, the conversation history with which we will delete.
We create a backup copy of our Skype profile folder (to be able to restore it along with the history in case of unsuccessful manipulations).

To do this, depending on the system installed on your PC, you need to find the profile folder on the C:\ drive and copy it to another location. For example, on a flash drive or drive D:\.

The location of the profile folder can be found in the following path:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Skype\\ (if you have Windows XP installed);
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Skype\\ (if you have Windows 7 or Vista installed);
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp\Localstate\\ (if you have Windows 8 installed).

Before installation and when working with the program, you need to make sure that Skype is closed. Download the utility and install it on your PC.
Delete history on Skype using this program is very simple: launch Skype chat helper. After launching it, a window will open, in the top line (Username) of which you need to enter your personal Skype login, in the bottom line (Contact) - the login of the person with whom you plan to delete the conversation.

Now in the same window you need to confirm your action by clicking “Remove chat history”. After this, correspondence with the individual from your contact list will be deleted.

In addition to the two utilities mentioned above, which, by the way, are free, there is the SkypeX program, with which it is possible not only to delete a chat with an individual contact on Skype, but also to selectively erase correspondence in the dialogue history.

To delete messages on Skype using this utility you will need:

Install it on your PC.
Run the program.
Enter your Skype login.

Select conversation history.
Using the mouse and the Shift key on the keyboard, mark unnecessary messages and click “Delete”.

Unlike Skype chat helper or SkHistory, the SkypeX interface is more understandable and convenient, even though it is in English. The only negative: the program is paid.

As of today, the beta version costs $4.99. Further, with the expansion of functionality and the release of the full version, the author plans to raise the price tag to $19.99.

With the VKontakte interface update, a convenient opportunity for convenient communication has appeared. Compared to the classic view, you would have to open a new tab every time for each individual user. In addition to the pleasant work in your personal communication account, this function is pleasant in that it also makes it easy to delete the chat history of an individual user without loading the message in a separate tab each time.

Of course, such a function as clearing the entire history at once does not exist by default. You need to either go through all users separately, or download a special browser extension. Another method that we will consider will replace such extensions.

Below we will look at 4 ways to delete all VK messages.

1. Deleting messages in classic view

This is not the best way to delete all VKontakte correspondence, but nevertheless, we will briefly consider it.

Clear the history of all dialogues with a specific user in the classic view of the VKontakte interface.

To do this, open a correspondence with the person you are communicating with and want to get rid of it. Above, move the mouse cursor over the ellipsis as shown in the image and select the item from the context menu " Clear message history».

And do the same with all other messages.

2. Deleting messages in the new VKontakte interface

Go to my messages and scroll to the bottom, then hover over the gear and select “Go to new interface.”

Transition to a new interface for more convenient work with messages.

This is what the new dialog interface looks like:

In the screenshot in the left column there are users with whom I correspond. In the second column is my correspondence with a specific user. Now, to delete the correspondence of the desired person, I select the desired person in the left column, and in the right column I move the mouse cursor over the ellipsis, as in the first option, and select the appropriate action. Or just hover your mouse over any message, a cross will appear and click on it.

The advantage of this method over the previous one is that you do not need to download a separate correspondence history each time.

3. VkOpt 3.x extension for quickly deleting all dialogs

Perhaps the fastest way to delete all dialogs at once. VkOpt 3 like a programmed autoclicker. That is, everything that can be deleted manually can be automated. This is precisely why the developers of this extension created such a brainchild, to simplify labor-intensive work. The extension can do a lot of things, from downloading an mp3 track to deleting it from all groups in sequence. You just need to select the desired option and the application will do all the routine work for you.

http://vkopt.net/download/

We choose in which browser we want to use this extension and install it.

Note!!! At the moment of writing this article, VkOpt I have not yet fully updated the functionality designed to work with the new VK design. Therefore, this method temporarily does not work. But I am very sure that sooner or later the functionality will be updated, or some other similar extension will appear for a narrow focus. Just go to the extensions catalog and see for yourself, maybe by then there will be something new.

Great, after installing this extension, just go to personal messages and in the upper right corner click on [ Dialogues]. Next, delete all incoming or all outgoing dialogs.

4. Bulk deletion of messages - script for IMacros

At the moment, I can recommend the IMacros extension for chrome to the most desperate ones who have a lot of dialogs. In short, do the following:

Go to the new messaging interface. How to do this is described in the second method.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imacros-for-chrome/

Next, create any macro recording, then edit it. Alternatively, navigate to the Demo-Chrome folder directly on the left side of your browser. Select any test pattern that IMacros offers and edit it with the right mouse button Edit. Then download the code in a text document. Copy it and paste this copied script there:

https://yadi.sk/i/C9YPAQB13E5bjz

Save. Next, select this script and make the appropriate settings below as shown in the screenshot. Current leave 1 a in the field Max indicate the approximate number of correspondences that need to be deleted. In our case, the screenshot shows that 13 correspondence from different users will be destroyed. That is, the template will be executed 13 times.

I myself do not understand macros, so duplicated sections of code are unnecessary; instead, you need to add either a pause or a condition. However, I am not eager to understand the intricacies of macros, so use what you have. In this case, the macro works fine for me.

Conclusion

New updates from VKontakte have made working in correspondence much more enjoyable than before. However, with such innovations, many extensions began to temporarily not work. But this is until the developers themselves update the browser add-on. But what to do with programs that offer to delete all VK messages at once? So far I have not found such programs. All programs that I suggest entering your login and password should not be installed under any circumstances. Moreover, you should have it so as not to accidentally catch the virus.

In this article we will tell you whether it is possible to completely or partially delete correspondence with one or another VKontakte user. Moreover, some of the methods provide the ability to delete messages not only from your page, but also from the page of your interlocutor.

How to delete individual VK messages.

There is the simplest and most well-known method by which you can delete a single message only from your dialogue, however, it remains in the recipient’s dialogue.

In order to block access to one or more messages using this method, you need to left-click on the entry once, and then click on the “Delete” option that appears at the top.

Deleting absolutely all correspondence with an individual user.

To do this you need to enter into a dialogue. Point to link "Actions" mouse cursor and select the last option “Clear message history”.

At the same time, the correspondence of the person to whom you wrote will remain, but will be deleted from your VK page.

How can you permanently delete correspondence in contact?

The only and reliable way to block access to messages both on your page and on the page of the person with whom you corresponded is to delete your own account from the Russian social resource. In this case, we recommend that you first perform the steps that were described in the previous version.

How to delete VKontakte correspondence with an interlocutor

First way is that you need to ask your interlocutor to delete the correspondence himself.

Second way, however, may not always work, is that you need to select the messages that were sent to you and mark them as “SPAM”. This method works in approximately 60 percent of cases.

How can this be done?

It's quite simple:

1. You need to enter the chat. Mark the messages you received from your interlocutor.
2. Click on the “This is spam” option; the button appears only after at least one message has been marked.

Frequently asked questions and answers.

1. Will a message that was deleted immediately after being sent reach the interlocutor on a social resource?

Yes. There are exceptions, since VKontakte sometimes glitches.

2. Is it possible to restore correspondence with a user who has permanently deleted himself or was removed from a social resource?

No impossible.

What if the page has not yet been deleted?

Then there are options.

3. Can correspondence on a social resource be evidence of something in court?

Yes maybe. In many cases, online correspondence is considered indirect evidence or evidence, and sometimes even direct evidence. If there is evidence that the suspect was at the computer at that time. However, provided that access to the correspondence was obtained in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
