    Hello!

    Unfortunately, once messages are deleted in Skype, it's impossible to recover them. Skype does not store messages on their servers, so once the messages are deleted, they are permanently lost. However, if you have a backup of your data, you could probably recover your messages from that backup.

    Thank you, but the way to find this backup… if I have one, I don’t know.

    Good evening,

    try going to:

    Windows + R

    enter

    %APPDATA%

    then roaming, skype, your username.

    the file should be named main.db

    You will open the database with, for example:

    https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/

    Hello

    Thank you for the response, but I am on Apple, I can't actually do Windows + r...

    Or is there another way to do this?

      .

      Library

      Application support

      Or in terminal type:

      open ~/Library/Application\ Support/

      Skype username

      You should see the main.db
