I have several chats/messages (are they the same thing?) in my facebook account...they are listed under archived chats.  These are messages that I had with people that purchased something I had for sale on facebook...items have been sold.

 I would like to trash those messages.  I have googled how to do it and still cannot get rid of the text.....can someone give me some advice?

thanks

Does this help?

To delete archived messages on Facebook Messenger, you can:

1. Tap and hold the conversation you want to delete
2. Tap Delete Conversation
3. Tap Delete Conversation again to confirm 

You can also delete multiple chats by:

1. Deleting a chat
2. Tapping Delete more
3. Selecting the chats you want to delete

• Tapping Delete, then Delete again to confirm 

Archiving a conversation hides it from your inbox, but deleting it permanently removes the message history. If someone sends you a new message in an archived conversation, the conversation will reappear in your Chat list.

@Lilysmom1   Thank you, I saw those directions before I posted...and got now where, but I will try again.  I don't even know why they are archived... I don't save messages affer I sell an item.

I like to keep things neat and tidy, lol.

I rered the directions, and tried again, but it did not work.  I was eventually able to trash the chats - I found a tab (had to look for it) and one at a time, poof, they were gone!

@Mom2Dogs I find FB keeps changing the way they do things.  I also find after an update I have to go in and reset my privacy settings because they revert back to what FB sets them at originally.  I have to look for new instructions all the time.  A pain.  Good for your persistence!
