How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Delete Private Chat threads

This request is for the ability to completely delete a private chat thread. (Not hide/archive.)

Again, this was pulled out into its own topic because it is still under review and no decision has been made.

To recap what has already been completed from the other topic:


  1. Delete your own messages anywhere in Teams.

  2. Team Owners can choose if users can edit/delete in their tenant as well as choose if admins have the power to delete any message posted in public channels.

  3. The ability to hide your private chat threads (these are not the chat threads in channels, but the private chat threads that appear when you click the Chat icon on the left-side app bar).

  4. The ability to mute your private chat threads. (these are not the chat threads in channels, but the private chat threads that appear when you click the Chat icon on the left-side app bar).

This topic deserves consideration and separating out hot items is something we have often done. Please don't think of this as an attempt to diminish the ask, we know that many people want this.

Thank you for your understanding and feedback.

    so weird... it’s so easy to add this function... 2020 is not 1985

    Clear conversation History should be by default, why its always microsoft which screws up messenger and chats. If you want to keep it for data security for company keep it, but what if i do not want people to see important conversation between the team mates.

    This would be a good product if Microsoft would stop using the customer as the BETA Testers for their new ideas and actually Test the product "in house" before releasing it to the public. But than again, that is how you save Money, let the customers find all your "bugs" for you.

    Please give a proper update. My users keep asking for this feature, and it is embarrassing for my support team to keep saying that "the feature will be available at some point"

    This request is currently number 10 on user voice, how can it just continually be ignored? It is clear that the comments are not being read, or there would be an update, however I will continue to post my requests as the community needs to know what the plan is for this most basic of features.

    What is the point of caching all these old conversations in Teams? I have huge list of people I have talked to whose conversation history is meaningless past the date of the conversation but I cannot delete the conversation and hiding them still leaves them cached. I don't need the chat history.

    Typical M$FT BS. Give users control of deleting chat (private or public). Its simple. Do it.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please create the function to delete entire chats in order to clean up unnecessary clutter. It's ridiculous that this function does not exist.
