remove conversation tab
I would like the option to remove or hide the conversations tab. Teams is a great way to post and link to team related spreadsheets or slideshows and doesn't require a chat function. Keeping one sometimes means there are chat posts that are missed because they are not expected.

This is a big GDPR, PII exposure point. I have a recent example where a customer's 11 year old son accidentally shared a Team Chat with all participants PII with an unknown third party. Corrective measures taken to remedy and clearly non-malicious but what if it were malicious? As the meeting owner, I should have the right to delete the whole Team chat with the same outcome being cascaded to all meeting participants. Admin - This one needs some pretty urgent attention please.

This is a potential serious security risk as I now have a confidential conversation in my O365 instance that is from an outside organization.

I would like to suggest that there should be an option where we can delete the whole conversation or clear the chat history since sometimes there are unnecessary conversations that we don’t need anymore. And besides it just adds up to the data of the app. Any update on this? You responded last year June 10, 2020. What’s with the long process of consideration? All the messaging apps there’s an option where you can delete the whole chat conversation without deleting the messages one by one. Please consider this.

Hi,
I want to delete the whole conversation. Is it possible to delete the conversations by unistaling the app and then reinstalling the same?

I assume "conversation" tab is the "posts" tab? If so then yes please allow us to either hide / remove / re-order.
We never use posts and having it as the first tab on every channel is just annoying.

I need the option to delete conversations and related contacts under the conversation tab. Not the tab itself.
As I use Teams a lot instead of Zoom, I communicate a lot with outside contacts.
90 % of those conversations prove useless or un-interesting. So I certainly don't want to keep a tab on those contacts neither give them a channel to contact me directly through Teams.
I need the option to delete conversations under the conversation tab. Not the tab itself.
Hiding the tab and desactivating the notification still keeps the link in the system. It is also not-allowed by our internal policy that obliges us to delete all references to person information for persons we don't do business with. -

this is so annoying, I want to be able to triage my chat and conversations, I don't need to have a long chain of chats, I never use them.. so a delete whole conversation should be a standard not an option.

I don't know what the "Conversation Tab" is; there are no tabs in my Teams window. But on the Chat window, I absolutely want the ability to delete a conversation, rather than just hide it. If I start a chat with colleagues A, B, and C on 1 Dec. about where to go for lunch that day, I don't need it anymore after lunch passes. Hiding it just hides the clutter. I want the ability to delete it, at least from my own view.

for every messagin app there's always the option to remove whole conversation since this data added for loading the apps. i don't understand why Microsoft did not include this option.
