Question: are skype messages stored on my computer?
Answer: Skype takes a backup of your chats and stores it in a database or . db file on your computer. ... If you expect to go back to chats more than a month old, it is a good practice to copy the file and store it in another location every month. The Skype desktop app saves the backup file in %appdata%\skype\<Skype Name>main.
