In Skype you can remove an instant message you've sent in a chat, delete a one-to-one conversation, or clear a group conversation.
-

Note
: If you remove an instant message that you sent, it's removed for everyone in a chat, and nobody will see it in that chat. You can only remove an instant message that you've sent, you can't remove an instant message someone else has sent in a chat. Also, system messages cannot be deleted, like the one sent to a conversation when it is renamed.
