By default, the chats that you make with your correspondents in Google Gmail are recorded. To not keep history of your discussions, you must modify the settings for email. Go to the Gmail message. Click the Settings link. Open the Chat tab. In the History section of my chats, select Do not save chat history. Finally, click on the Save Changes button. Now, your chat history will not be saved.

Deleting chat is easy but I wonder if any of you guys know how to delete chat history from the small chat window. To explain it better, if you delete a chat and want to start a new chat with the same person you deleted his chat earlier, the window (the small chat box) will open with the text of the previous chat in it!. Is there any way, you can delete this text? Thank you Reply With Quote #6 Old 15-09-2011 Shikhar Shikhar is offline Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 408 Re: How to Delete Chat History in Gmail ?

Because, if you chatting from Gtalk and want to clear the chat box, you can simply do it by killing Gtalk process from task manager. Start Gtalk again and you will not see any previous message in this little box.
