Deleting a chat history of only one contact in Skype

The Skype program has rather limited capabilities for working with the history of messages. For example, the built-in tools do not allow you to delete the message history for the selected contact. As a result, if you need to delete the history of correspondence with only one contact, you have to delete the whole history of messages in Skype, which can be unacceptable.
