Hi @Skylar Wang

Are you using a survey created with MS Forms?

If you are the owner of the team and have the setting "Owners can delete all messages" the three dots will appear, and the form/quick poll can be deleted.

If you are not the Team owner, you will not be able to delete the poll. You can delete the form itself if you go to forms.office.com, log in, go to group forms and delete the form itself. However, this doesn't delete the form in Teams.

Hi,
I am the owner of the Team and of the form but I don't see the option to delete it. Any hint?

Agreed, what the heck! Why can't we delete a poll in a MS Teams chat?

We will also be facing the same problem at the end of November 2024.

In a chat Group Teams, it doesn't work. There is no option "Delete" when you click on ... . And it's cleary written that the form is on read-only and cannot be edited.

The only thing I succeeded to do it's to desactivate (no more answers registered) it but it is still showing in the conversation :

-Go to Forms and delete it.
-Go to the Trash bin in Forms and delete it again.

And even this suggestion (from another forum) does not work. Is the Microsoft Administrator of our company who has to enable an option ?

Same thing happening to me. There really is a bug in POLLS. Is there anyone fixing it?

I am here, because I am facing the same issue. Looking at the previous posts, this issue has been frustrating users for two years now. Come on Microsoft, can we please have an easy way to delete a poll in a Teams group chat?
