Hi! I am very concerned of why I can't delete messages in Teams. Can you update Microsoft Teams today because I want to be able to delete messages in Microsoft Teams. And I don't have an administrator to contact with because I don't know who it is. Please let me delete messages in Microsoft Teams from now on. I need to do it so that I won't have any problems with Microsoft Teams anymore. Thank you!

Hi @Perpetual Ankamah

Teams provides the ability to delete sent messages.

However, you must contact your administrator to enable this feature in the messaging policy and assign the policy to you.

Hi @Perpetual Ankamah

I am afraid that this useful feature isn't supported in Teams.

However, you can send a feedback directly to Microsoft to add it in future updates.

To send a feedback in Team you can select the Help button at the bottom lower-left of Teams and then choose Suggest a feature or Give feedback to tell to Microsoft what you think.

I had been waiting forever for Microsoft to enable the delete button Microsoft Teams for me, but it had never even done it. Can you talk to my administrator about this? I need to be able to delete messages in Teams!

Sorry, we were unable to find an administrator for you. The administrator is set within your organization and we cannot view it.

Can you contact your own administrator and see if he can enable the delete button for Microsoft Teams?

First, if you want to delete messages in 1:1 chats, you must contact an administrator in your organization to enable this feature for you in the Teams admin center.

This is by design, and it cannot be enabled for you by anyone other than an administrator in your organization.

Thank you for your understanding

Each organization has its own administrator, you need to contact the administrator of your own organization, we cannot help you realize this function as the administrator of your organization.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

You must be an administrator to access the Teams admin center.

I'm sorry, but I'm not an administrator. But maybe you can tell your administrator to enable the delete button for Microsoft Teams because I don't have one.

A veces lo tiene que permitir el administrador.

Hi @Perpetual Ankamah

First, if you want to delete messages in Teams, you'll need your organization's own admin to enable the feature for you.

My administrator can enable this feature for me, and it's limited to the organizations I belong to. My administrators cannot enable this feature for you. Because administrators can only manage their own organizations and not other organizations.

Hello LiweiTian-MSFT, I am very concerned about one thing. I noticed that you updated Microsoft Teams few weeks ago for other stuffs, but you didn't update the delete button when deleting messages. Besides the administrator enabling the delete button for Teams, Is there any other problem with Microsoft Teams on why it won't allow me to delete message on Teams? Please give me a respond today and let me know what the real issue and the problem is for Microsoft Teams!

Hi,

What version of Teams are you using? Is it Teams for home or Teams for work or school?

If you are using the Teams for work or school version of Teams:

You must notify the administrator to enable this function for you.

We cannot find your administrator for you because we are not in your tenant.

We cannot enable this function for you.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
