Additional chat-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business
Sometimes I wonder why MS hires UX designers if they don't bother listening to them.
"This message has been deleted."

I am setting up a new team and I've got a few posts saying "This message has been deleted." and I can't delete the part that says it's been deleted. It looks like and behaves like a bug. Is it best to delete the whole team and start over if I want it to look clean and professional?

Although other members don't see the 'This message has been deleted' message, I think it's still a good idea for it to be completely removed. I also hope that this functionality could be added in future versions.
Thank you very much, Eric.

I am Igor and I will be glad to help you with this question :)
When you delete a message, it does indeed go into the Recycle bin for 30 days (which both messages and teams can be restored from by the team owner or admin). After that, it is permanently deleted. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/delete...
If the issue persists, you may try to isolate the issue by accessing the teams account from the web version and checking if the same issues happens from there
