How to Remove Previous Calls on BlackBerry

Steps to Delete BlackBerry Call History

This article discusses how to remove previous calls on a BlackBerry via the messages folder and the call log list. Deleting BlackBerry call history is not a straightforward process. BlackBerry settings and adjustments are well hidden and embedded in the system software, the location and format take a bit of getting used to.

How easy it can be will depend on where you store your phone logs. Before learning how to delete the call logs, it is worth bearing in mind that the BlackBerry has two locations for phone logs, the messages application or the phone application.

While the messages application will allow you to delete all calls, the phone log works less efficiently only allowing you to delete each call log individually.

The following steps will allow you to organize the settings for your BlackBerry call logs:

• Click on the green call button.
• A menu appears showing a call log.
• Click the BlackBerry key; a menu pops up.
• Select options.
• Scroll down to call logs and lists.

Here you can set up which window appears first when you click on the call button and organise calls via most recent, most used or name.
