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.

    It is clear, they will do it when they have saved and analyzed all our data.

    This microsoft teams is worse as time go on using it. It doesnt let you delete your chat threads at work. its always asking me to sign in. If a group chat has started it should when downsized only the first person in the group chat and you can mistakenly send a message to someone not meant for whole group. what can you do to fix this issue.

    Please, delete private chats, because many times I'd never talk again with the student.

    To Microsoft: I don't buy your explanation. Something fishy about all of this. Voting is necessary to delete our conversation history? This is a breach of privacy and a point of a security breach. What is the real reason for this. End this deception!

    When designing Teams, how could someone forget to include a feature to delete chats and previous meetings? You can delete messages, and sent messages out of Outlook, text messages and everywhere else, but I have to keep staring at the same chats/meetings for years to come? That's got to be a burden on a server somewhere. Maybe not, but it's annoying.

    When designing Teams, how could someone forget to include a feature to delete chats and previous meetings? I would think that this would be a standard feature, one thing I miss about Skype!

    C'est vraiment simple, toutes les autres plateforme ont cette fonctionnalité… avant de lancer ce produit, vous auriez dû penser à cette fonction de base ! j'utilise cette plateforme de communication seulement parce que j'y suis obligée, sinon cela ferait longtemps que j'aurais SUPPRIMER cette application.

    Please allow a delete chat option! At times I work with people for only 10 minutes, states away, and never talk to them again. Why I loved Skype!!
