ChrisWebbTech I have enabled my messaging policy to allow owner deletes.  I have also enabled owner deletes on the site.  I was able to delete several messages in the General channel except for the last two.

 

On those when I click the ellipses the delete option is there but greyed out.  I added a test message afterwards and it too has the word delete greyed out.

 

Any ideas what I need to do to delete these messages?

 

Thanks.

RickB710, Hey, did you resolve this problem? I also need to remove a whole year of posts and do not want to delete one at a time.
