How to remove (not show) all deleted posts in a channel?

We just finished our tests on a TEAM. We want to leave the channel GENERAL for important information that we as OWNERS will like to post. May I know Is it currently possible to remove (not show) deleted posts or actions? 

  • The deleted posts will permanently go away after some time. I don’t remember the limit off top of my head but I think it’s like an hour or less. Anyway only the person that deletes a message sees the “deleted message” spot until the undo timer expires.

    Hope this helps. If that’s not it maybe a screenshot could help!

    This is still an issue, and the deleted posts are not disappearing of their own accord. Clearing the Teams cache has no effect. Is it the intention that Channel Owners should always be able to see deleted messages? Is there an option to hide them?

    Not sure how you would do multiple posts at once, but you can delete each individual post within a channel by clicking on the 3 dots... in the upper left hand corner of the post.

      Jenny8675 Thanks for your reply. I know how to delete posts, but I do not know whether, as OWNER, I can hide the deleted posts, so that the Channel does not look crowded with unnecessary information.
