Delete a chat thread in Teams
Keep your chat list organized and focused by deleting entire chat threads in Teams. One-one-one chats, group chats, and meeting chats can all be deleted from your chat list. To delete individual messages from a chat thread, see Edit or delete a sent message in Teams.
-
From Chat on the left side of Teams, go to the chat you want to delete and select More options
> Delete Chat.

Select Delete.
Once you've selected Delete, the chat will be permanently removed from your chat list and conversation history will be deleted. When this happens, you won't be able to search for messages that were part of the deleted chat thread.
Note: If you are a meeting owner, you cannot delete the meeting chat. However, if you are a participant in the meeting chat, you can delete it.
