how to delete all History of yahoo messenger message archives permanently

Dear Friends,

Can anybody tell me how to delete all History of yahoo msngr msg archives permanently from our system. So that no recovery software should recover it later in the future...

Yahoo messenger window, then contacts, then message archive. Then highlight the name of the person you want to delete and click on the red X.

Go to the 'Preferences - Archive' after that make sure the option is chosen : 'Yes, save all my messages,, but clear them when I sign out'. with this your messenger will erase all your messages on a daily basis.Also, try clicking on the button 'Clear Archive Now'."

Delete everything in this folder : C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\[user name]\Archive

I know all those procedure my dear friend. But after doing that also you can retrieve those cleared Archives through Yahoo Msg Archive recovery software...
So therefore my questn is that i should delete d archives in such a way that the above mentioned software should not trace it or recover it....:rolleyes:

Any Experts There To Help On The Above Issue....

As you know everything is in the archive files. To delete the files and make it not recoverable, a software is used, known as File Shredder. Download it and shred the archive files and it will not be recovered... :thumbup1:
