AboutJoerg Droege Expertise I can answer all questions regarding ICQ except those like: "I have lost my password, how do I get it back?" because I am not an ICQ Team member, so I cannot do anything about lost passwords.
Experience I did an education as a Management Assistant in Informatics, I am using ICQ since ICQ2000b, but of course I know the current ICQ client the best. I also used the alpha ComPad ICQ client.
Education/Credentials Management Assistant in Informatics education under the control of the CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry).
Expert: Joerg Droege Date: 5/22/2008 Subject: ICQ chat history
Question QUESTION: ICQ6 chat history has been saving all chat conversations for over a year. I find no way to delete the messages, other than one message at a time. The old version of ICQ had an option to delete history. Is there an easier way than to delete one at a time?
ANSWER: Hello Sharon!
Thanks for your question!
You can. Just delete the Messages Access file from the following path: %appdata%\ICQ --> your ICQ number
Hope this helps!
All the best!
Bye!

QUESTION: Your answer does not work. Thanks anyway.
Answer Hello Sharon!
It has to work as %appdata% is the path windows saves the application datas. Enter in Windows Explorer in the address bar %appdata% and it will lead you to this. Then select the subfolder "ICQ" and then the subfolder which equals your ICQ number.
If this doesn't work, please provide info about what you do and what happened and which Windows version you are using.
It's impossible to give you detailed help with little info about the situation given.
