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) dele...
- Feb 28, 2020The 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!

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.

Hi ChrisWebbTech thanks for advise to far
I deleted a post on my work teams channel but it is still visible to me 2 weeks later.
It is not visible to my colleagues any more - which is good - but I also do not want to see this clogging up my channel.
I assume this means that whoever deletes a post will always be able to see the ghost of their deleted post? It does not look good and I would hope that there is a way to permanently delete it from the channel.
Please enlighten me if so.
