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.

Removing the Conversation Tab is being reviewed by the feature team.
For deleting chat messages, please following progress here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/33535006.
Thanks.

Please give a facility to delete messages within a conversation (sent and received) as needed. There are instances where some messages are unwanted and deleting them will help keeping the message structure intact.

We should be able to delete an entire conversation. Otherwise, it just causes more clutter we don't need.

useful conversations are getting burried under lower priority conversations and as a user I should have the authority to maintain my own chats.. not liking teams.

I hate that my Chat column on the left becomes so cluttered. Please allow me to delete. I have so much chat history my scroll bar is four times long!

I clicked the phone-icon by mistake, then I look the history tab, there is a history. I tried to remove it, but cannot do that. Please Make delete function!

Please include this. It is silly to have an Onboarding Channel or a "Start Here" channel for showing team members a task list for signing up, and to have them click it and see a chat window. Not just is it unnecessary for every channel, but it is confusing and unhelpful for a new member to click it and see an empty chat, or a chat saying "Go up and tab over because Teams doesn't have a way for just showing a powerpoint."
