Delete files shared in chat
Files shared in Chat are stored to OneDrive, but there is no way to delete file from within Teams. When file is deleted from OneDrive, it is (of course) no longer available and the individual gets a "Sorry, we couldn't find you file" error.
I would like to remove the shared file entry from the Teams chat.

MS teams is half baked. It is a terrible product being pushed by a company that is in decline

Yes, the delete feature is available in Teams group, but not in Teams chat.
Instead, I need to scroll up to locate where the file was posted then click on the three dots to delete the file. It is very inconvenient. -

File delete Option is essential for a clean Teams Chat Environment!

Agree - we need a delete button for group chats as well. There is no way for us to easily delete a previous version of a file, or a file that is no longer needed as we cannot even categorise within the Files section

I'd like to remove the obnoxious 'shared with you' OneNote in teams..first, because onenote sucks dog balls, and second because Teams (It's *still* just 'LINK) sucks the rest of the dog.
it figures Microsoft would only make the ****** parts indelible.

If you accidently load the wrong file, it takes too long to delete it via OneDrive and so we need to be able to delete in teams and reload if needed...

Please add the feature to be able to delete a file within chat only so I don’t have to delete the whole conversation in order to delete the file. Thanks!

Yes, please allow delete from files tab. Scrolling back searching for a message somewhere up there is difficult and stupid. Let's do file management in the file tab.

Click the 3 dots > Edit the message > Edit the attachment > then you can delete it.

fully agree. we need the ability to delete a file from the chat. at minimum the author should have this ability. its causing a lot of user confusion and frustration.
I propose: 1) deleting from chat, remove from Chat only (including permissions). 2) Deleting from OneDrive deletes from both OneDrive and Chat.
How about giving us this feature in the next teams upgrade, please.

I'll pile on . This is a *dreadful* user experience and half-baked integration with sharepoint.
fix it. it is already causing confusing with people, as we're collaborating on a document, now i have two, and people are saying "which one"? It just slows us down!!

Please resolve this issue - it's frustrating to have a collaborative space that doesn't let you delete outdated information.

Very frustrating to have to go to One Drive and do this. Please just enable Delete within Teams.

I just found a different workaround for this. The delete option was not available to me but if I edited the chat where I shared the file, deleted the file and typed something random in it, hit save. The file was removed from the files Tab. Super messy!
