Procedure To Delete Windows Messenger History

One of the most valued and protected aspect of a human being is his or her privacy. Under normal circumstances the invasion of privacy is usually not tolerated by anyone who wishes to keep things private, especially conversations. It is a never-ending concern while you use the Internet, especially when you are using a public computer for the purpose of chatting online using popular programs such as Windows Live Messenger, previously known as MSN Messenger.

Whatever may be the nature of communication or conversation, whether your chats are related to business or personal topics, it is likely that you do not want others to snoop about and read your chat logs when you are finished. Sometimes you’d want these conversations to be removed. You can delete your history on Windows Live Messenger to ensure that your privacy is protected. Here are the Windows online support instructions to help delete Windows Messenger History.
