Why should I delete a Skype conversation?

By default, Skype keeps a log of all text-based conversations. This is useful when you need to go back to a previous discussion. However, it can pose a privacy or security risk if you have panels that you want to keep between you and the other party. If you use Skype frequently, these archived conversations can become a source of digital clutter that you should clean up regularly.
