Delete chat

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Soft-delete a chat. When invoked with delegated permissions, this operation only works for tenant admins and Teams service admins.

Notes: This operation is not supported for non-admin users. Only tenant admins for the user who initiated the chat can delete the chat. For example, if a user from tenant A creates a thread and then adds a user from tenant B, only the admin from tenant A can delete the thread. This API deletes 1:1 chats, meeting chats, and group chat threads. It does not delete channel chat threads. After chats are deleted, tenant admins have seven days to restore them. Chats deleted for more than seven days can't be restored. One delete request per second per tenant is allowed.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
