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:
- Delete your own messages anywhere in Teams.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.

Deleting is not a new technique. I do not think that this function has been forgotten, rather the "keeping of all data" is intended to collect and evaluate data by someone outside the user's control. That borders on surveillance or phishing of information.

It's been 6 weeks since "the team has finalized the designs," so what's going on? I would expect to wait 6 weeks for updates to a homemade / free WordPress plugin developed by just one person working alone. What's the excuse for a world-class software company with a large pool of the world's best programmers at its disposal?

When will this be completed? Teams is very messy and cleaning the previous chat history is essential, rather than just hiding this

No idea why people "NEED" this so much. Who cares about chats at the bottom of a list you're never going to scroll to the bottom of?

We just made the mistake of going to TEAMS, got some test messages and now you are telling me I'm STUCK with them FOREVER! What a piece of junk, but then what would I expect from the brains at Microsoft!

This functionality is totally pointless in my opinion from the very beginning. I don't see any idea in remaining this information. If I want delete message, I want it dissapears, not change in other message...

This announcement is appreciated. Although, the fashion within which the announcement is make offers so few specifics that it is impossible to tell what to expect.
Look forward to more concrete details.

Chances that what you implement will be what we want... ZERO. Sorry, I have little faith in your ability to take user feedback and implement a change to match the request accurately. Just go look what you did about the status changing on people all the time. You indicate you solved it, and yet you really did absolutely nothing and then closed the request down from any further comments. Nice, real nice.
