How can I delete a quick form in teams???
- Aug 25, 2021
Robert_Cario Hello, this is my new account. Well, it seems as things have changed when looking at it now. If you are the owner of the team and have the setting "Owners can delete all messages" the three dots will appear and the form/quick poll can be deleted. When I tried this a year ago or something like that it still showed the poll with "this poll has been deleted".
So, you need to be owner of team with above check box under the team settings and can be set per team or by using Teams messaging policy.
-AllowOwnerDeleteMessages (this one controls if the checkbox will be selected or not)Setting that determines whether or not owners can delete messages that they or other members of the team have posted.
Set-Team (MicrosoftTeamsPowerShell) | Microsoft Docs
-AllowOwnerDeleteMessage (this one controls if the checkbox should be visible or not)Determines whether owners are allowed to delete all the messages in their team. Set this to TRUE to allow. Set this to FALSE to prohibit.
Set-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy (SkypeForBusiness) | Microsoft Docs
jaindev Hi, as mentioned you need to go to https://forms.microsoft.com/ and delete the "poll". As per today it isn't possible from within Teams but on the backlog at least.
It is already deleted from there but it keeps showing in my Channel and people are continuously interacting with it, resulting in a mess.
I wish I can at least hide it from there.

jaindev Hi, had to do a test and see what you mean.
This poll does not exist.
Will update if I find out a way of doing it.

jaindev Hello again, as mentioned in this conversation there's no way to do it (not then and not now) so all you can do really is to vote on this UV https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18684091-delete-bot-messages to push it up and to get updated when status changes as well.
