Teams messages deleted by admins in Microsoft Teams
As an administrator, you can search for and remove conversations within Microsoft Teams which contain confidential or sensitive information.

CAN A Teams Admin delete posts?
The Team Owners in their Teams have the ability to delete messages and conversations in the Team Site. The terms messages and conversations can be used interchangeably.

How do I stop Teams from deleting my messages?
– To turn on or off the editing, deleting, or switching options, you need to go to Teams Settings > Member > Permissions.
Why my Teams chat deleted automatically?
The retention policy will automatically delete the chats and channel messages within the organization when a retention policy is configured to have them deleted from the system.
