How to remove unsent skype messages

Hi, I had a question about removing an IM from skype. The message failed to send the first time because of an internet connection issue, and now the message gets bumped to the bottom of my conversation every single time somebody sends a new message. I've tried right-clicking the message and then clicking "Remove," but this has not worked. I've also tried closing and re-opening skype, and this has not worked. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello Sean David Worcester,
