Hey, just a heads-up on the topic. There’s a bit cumbersome workaround including enabling team owners to delete all messages (teams messaging policy). If it’s not disabled by an admin and the default team setting is enabled, a checkbox under team settings, you should be able to delete them. Haven’t verified it but heard another member do it this way instead of waiting for the above UV request. Perhaps worth a shot?

dBrent did you manage to delete those 'test' items finally.
I have recently started using Approvals and have the same issue.
Thanks in advance- dBrentAug 26, 2021Brass Contributordcoxgeraldcom unfortunately I have not yet seen an option to delete approvals.
- Aug 26, 2021Hello, you can delete the approval bot post if you are an owner of the team with the team setting "owners can delete all messages" checked. This option can be made visible by an administrator using Teams policies. Either per Team or User. I actually just now set up a new Teams org. incl. new teams and the above setting is not turned on by default.
