I know one more method by which you would be able to delete the chat history via. Yahoo mail. So basically what you will have to do is go to the yahoo mail and from there sign in to the page. Then select the search mail box which you can find in the yahoo mail page. Just enter the string conversation that you would like to find in the yahoo search mail. Enter it and the list of results will be displayed in a new tab and so with that you will get the option to use the narrow results. In that you will find @C@Chats folder. That will display all information on the chat achieves. Select the specific message that you want to delete and all the data will get light green shaded. Select the delete button and it will get deleted permanently.
