SOURCE: Can deleted messages on facebook

I don't think they can be retrieved. I'm pretty sure once you delete a message on Facebook, it's gone for good since there's no trash can.

SOURCE: i need all my personal messages deleted from facebook

YOu cannot delete facebook messages. You can only archive them. If you go to "see all messages" you will land on the page where all your messages are. There you will see an "x" on the right side of the messages. Click on them.

I have had a conversation with a friend private mess not on Facebook is there a way I can recover them if so please tell me thanks


We use Facebook daily to do conversation with our friends, relatives and sometimes with our profession clients too.
It's very important for us to get those conversations back if mistakenly they can deleted.
Some common situations that lost Facebook messages you can recover from:
1. accidentally deleted it on your android phone
2. lost messages after Android 5.0 updated or other Android upgrade.
3. save messages from water damaged, crashed, broken or smashed Android phone
4. Android deleted messages randomly by itself
5. Factory restore Android phone.
And more...
Watch this video and share it with your friends too so that they can also get their precious lost data back.

I want to know how to delete a private message I have posted on facebook.

I've been through something like that and researched it thoroughly. I'm afraid you won't like the answer. Unlike facebook posts, which you are free to delete and it will no longer be available, facebook messages are more like email, in the sense that all you can delete is the copy you can see. If the message has already been "delivered", you can not remove or delete the copy (or copies) at the receiver end. Best you can do is follow up with an explanation or apology, or do whatever damage control you can come up with. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Can deleted facebook messages from 6 months ago be retrieved

Friend,

All over the world, in all sites and with all service providers, msgs are a private thing. Hence no one keeps a copy with them. And whatever you had you have deleted them. Facebook does not have an equivalent of Recycle Bin. Hence whatever is deleted stays deleted for ever. Sorry for the answer but you must face facts.

One of my posts was deleted from facebook, its needed in a court case, please help

Facebook has a hide, unhide option alongside the note, if you are lucky, it has a reverse circle arrow which is an undo on top of the facebook screen. If you delete the message and the person as well
Immediately after you delete a message in your private Inbox, you are given the option to "Undo" - above the message - but that is it. Once a message is gone, it's gone; there is no way to recover it later.
