How To Permanently Delete Facebook Messages From Archive?

WP Engine
Facebook Messages
Hello friends! Some among you don't wanna to keep their facebook messages history saved. Mostly users put their chat history to archived, but it would not delete your entire conversation. Archiving a conversation will hide it from your messages view, while deleting a conversation from messages permanently removes the entire conversation and its history. Follow these steps for permanently deleting your facebook messages:


If you have not yet archived your message:
  • Login to facebook.
  • Go to Messages tab.
  • Open any message.
  • It will show you entire conversation.
  • You will see Actions drop down menu on right side of conversation.
  • Select Delete Messages... from menu.
  • Here you can delete selected messages or all messages.
If you have archived your message:
  • Go to Messages tab.
  • Scroll down, click on Archived under View.
  • All other steps are same with above procedure.

I tried deleting messages through archive, and you have to do it one message at a time, and that is very time consuming. I found a website called fbsweeper.com that will do it for you. It worked really well for me.

Is there anyway to remove a message from the other parties side? I have deleted mine and defriended the other person. But I still wish they have no connection after to my account. If I deactivated my account or anything would that do it....even if it was for a short period?

I am worried about the message still on the other persons side because they like to share it which is causing some out side of facebook harassment.I just don't want the conversation message to be out there at all.

It works. If you delete the messages then go and send a message the conversation history is gone. Just tried it. It only saves the history if you hit "Archive" instead of "Delete".
