Delete a recent message you sent

Own-message deletion is available within the current 30-minute window.

Updated 2026-11-11

For a message you sent recently, open Message actions beside that message and choose the deletion action. The current workspace allows you to delete your own message within 30 minutes of its creation.

Read the confirmation before proceeding. It warns that the deletion cannot be undone. Confirm only when you intend to remove the message content from the thread display.

The thread retains a Message deleted placeholder rather than removing all evidence of the conversation entry. Associated attachment chips are no longer shown with the deleted message. This action is not a promise to recall a message from anyone who already read it or saved a file.

You cannot use this action to delete another person’s message or an older message outside the allowed window. If you need to correct information after that point, send a clear correction in the thread. If deletion fails, inspect the reloaded message before assuming the content was removed.
