0 Ry0ta Exonar Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Chat and IM logs By default, Second Life automaticallys saves local chat and IM conversations to log files on your hard drive. Log files Log files are saved to a location that depends on you operating system: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\SecondLife\Avatarname\chat.txt Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\chat.txt Mac OSX: Users/Username/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/Avatarname/chat.txt Where Username is your system account name and Avatarname is your Second Life username. Important: You may need to enable your file browser's ability to view hidden files to access your chat logs at their default location. quoted from http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Text-chat-and-instant-messages/ta-p/700155 You'll see there are lots of text files in the folder. Each text file contains chat between you and your friend, group, and such. You can delete them if you don't need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lindal Kidd Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 In addition to Ry0ta's excellent answer, you can turn off logging in Preferences/Privacy. I don't recommend this. There are times when chat and IM logs can be useful. Also, the Knowledgebase article is slightly incorrect. The file path for Windows7/Vista isn't quite what that says...but it will get you close enough to find the log files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lindal Kidd Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Readers should also understand the following: While it is possible for you to disable chat logging on YOUR computer, or find and erase YOUR chat logs, you can't do anything about chat logs that OTHER people are keeping. Plus, Linden Lab logs all chat and keeps it for at least a little while, in case they need it to investigate abuse reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
