Delete Posts from General Channel
Hi All, I know that I can not delete a general channel but I would like to delete posts to clean it up. Currently, when I click the "..." on a post the delete option is not available. I have read ...
- Still works for me, use an in-private browser window, if not then go to your Office 365 admin portal, and click Teams admin, and messaging policies. If it still doens't show anything, something is up with your DNS / network for your ISP / Region
AHA!
I didn't know the change took time to go into effect. Now, the "Owners can delete all messages" checkbox is visible and checked. "Delete" now shows up in the "..." for the messages. At some point, does the "This message has been deleted" bit go away? I'm looking to produce a clean slate.
So also for the clean slate, how does one get rid - and stay rid - of all the action updates (things changed, things created, etc.)?
Thank you,
Bill
Where does the box "Owners can delete all messages" show up in Manage Teams>Settings show-up?
- This is what controls if the setting is available or not -AllowOwnerDeleteMessage and can be found in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmessagingpolicy?view=skype-ps
With this -AllowOwnerDeleteMessages found in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/teams/set-team?view=teams-ps you can control if it should be checked or not under the Teams settings.
The team owner/owners can uncheck and check it as they like though.- I tested the setting. in general channel can have the option delete and I went to delete it seem successful, but the same message reappear back after I switch betweeen channel. Not sure what I'm missing out
