Resolved Deleting Private Messages?

[1CatOverTheLine]

I can't find an option for "delete" in private messages:

and simply highlighting a message and hitting the Delete Key doesn't do it. Am I missing something?

I'd like to delete mine too.

A conversation is threaded, multi-person shared but it is like email. Every recipient has a copy and deleting yours do not delete it from others.

You can just hit the "Leave Conversation" button and it will be deleted for you.

Brilliant. Thanks!

Yep; this issue should be marked, "resolved."

An aside: since most everyone is aware that deleting an email doesn't delete the recipient's copy, perhaps changing the option, "leave conversation" to, "delete," would avert confusion in future cases.

Right. I would never in a million years have figured out that "leave conversation" means delete.

It doesn't delete, that's why it is called "leave."

In backend, there is just one copy of the conversation (to save space etc) instead of one copy to each participant.

The conversation is actually deleted when the last remaining user leaves it.
