What you can and cannot delete in a private chat
How are private conversations deleted?
In the thread, one participant replies that it cannot be done. According to their version, only what you have written can be deleted and replaced with a period. The conversation of the other person, which you did not write, remains intact.

What can and what cannot be deleted

According to SrPurpuron, only what you have written can be deleted and replaced with a period. The rest of the exchange, including bothersome messages, remains there. There is no delete button that clears the entire conversation, according to this response.

Ignoring the sender: a possible solution

When the problem is messages from another person, the thread suggests that you can perhaps ignore the sender. Catalinius says they are of poor taste and doesn't like them being there. No other deletion method is mentioned: only this option of ignoring.

Deletion That Isn't Permanent

Catalinius comments that they managed to remove them, but doesn't know if they will receive more, and that it is better this way; also that they reappear. No further details are given regarding whether the deletion holds up.
