Says "The guys on WickedFire are way smarter than anyone on fucking Google! Cmon Jon, just post it and get me an answer please. I would totally trust the alleged hacker nerd guys on WickedFire than I would anyone on fucking Google, okay!!!"

He claims he can't find the answer on Google... lol

He's using a MAC (explains a lot)...

On Skype, he wants to know how to remove a number that was auto-saved on the dialpad.

Yes, this is real.

:anon.sml:
 


According to my friend you have to delete your call logs between you and that number.

360 pages!?
 
I can assist you with the same on Windows but have no idea how to achieve the same in a MAC!

The trick is to edit the config.xml! (Remember to take a backup first, incase something goes wrong)

As soon as you dial a number, your config.xml updates with the LastDialedNumbers2 attribute.

It should be in the following format -

<LastDialedNumbers2>
<_0>
<number>+9145646</number>
<time>1308162050</time>
</_0>
<_1>
<number>+91123456789</number>
<time>1308161947</time>
</_1>
</LastDialedNumbers2>

You just edit out the number between & including <_0> to </_0> to remove one particular call! Or everything between <LastDialedNumbers2> & </LastDialedNumbers2> to remove all the calls.

This should make the dialler as good as new :)

Edit - Found the location for config.xml on OSX - It should be in /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Skype/Skypeusername/config.xml

Hope it helps!

1. First of all, Don't hate on Mac alright, its the user not the platform.
2. If its someone I know, tell them that they are a noobasaurus rex.
