How to delete icq history files
 

Im afraid i delete the wrong ones and my list will be gone. Which ones to delete?

sign it up............. :thumbsup

Just view the person you want to delete history from, that limits you deletion to only that conversation record.

In the View History window select the part of the convo you want to delete and click the delete button. only the highlightes entries will be erased.

You have time to come over and do the 200 people on my list manually?

Part one of your original question has been answered. Part two is unclear but in the original context it appears you asked how to ONLY delete those which you want deleted.

Nah, i want all history deleted.

For an individual contact or the entire ICQ history file?

If you want to dump everything from the entire history db you could just un-install/re-install icq real quick and that should do it. Your contact list is stored online so when you reconnect it will re-populate.

just go to the files and hit delete!

Find a shareware/freeware for that Franck :glugglug

under documents and setting then your username go into the applications data/icq lite/historydb/your icq#/ and then delete all those files

Non of those maps are in my icq dir.

uninstall/reinstall. takes 4 minutes tops.

And the contacts are stored online? Im really afraid to lose my contact list.

re-installing wont delete the history, because its saved on the harddisk and wont be deleted...
look for a directory with your ICQ number(directory again), in my case, its 2003b, since thats the ICQ Im using. There are your messages.

yes, online...you can check go.icq.com and it will load your ICQ list from any computer in the world :)

yeah they are

its by your icq number and login.

i have lost my computer and had to reboot recently, wiping the entire hardrive. contacts are stored on the icq database.
