You deleted this WhatsApp message. How to remove it - in detail?

If you've accidentally deleted a WhatsApp message and are wondering how to recover or remove it, there are several steps you can take depending on your specific situation. Here’s a detailed guide:

1. Check for Backup:

   • WhatsApp automatically backs up chats daily at 2 AM. If you have backed up your data before deleting the message, you might be able to retrieve it.
   • Go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup. If there's a recent backup, tap on Restore Chat History.

2. Recover Deleted Messages:

   • Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not offer a direct way to recover deleted messages if they are not included in the last backup.
   • However, third-party apps can sometimes help. Be cautious and only use trusted sources to avoid security risks.

3. Permanently Delete Messages:

   • If you want to permanently delete messages from your device, you have a few options:
     • Delete for Me: This removes the message from your phone but leaves it visible on the recipient's phone.
     • Delete for Everyone: This feature allows you to delete sent messages for everyone in the chat within seven minutes of sending. To use this, long-press on the message and select Delete > Delete for Everyone.

4. Archive Chats:

   • If you want to remove a conversation from your main screen without deleting it, you can archive the chat.
   • Swipe left on the chat and tap Archive. The chat will be moved to the Archived Chats section.

5. Clear Storage:

   • To free up space on your device, you can clear WhatsApp storage. Go to Settings > Storage and Data > Manage Storage. From here, you can see how much space is taken by media and messages, and you can choose to delete specific types of files or clear the entire chat history.

6. Contact Support:

   • If none of these methods work, consider reaching out to WhatsApp support for further assistance. They might provide additional guidance tailored to your situation.
