I frequently use self-chat in Teams to maintain personal notes and references. Recently, I moved to a new project and would like to clean up my old notes by deleting these self-chat conversations.

However, I could not find an option to remove self-chats. For chats with other users, there is a "Remove chat history" option available under More Options (three dots), which removes the chat from my view

Dear Shaik Ameer Shameer,

I understand that you use the self-chat feature in Microsoft Teams to keep personal notes and references, and that you would like to remove your old self-chat conversations after moving to a new project.

Currently, Microsoft Teams does not provide a dedicated option to remove or delete the entire self-chat conversation in the same way as regular one-on-one chats.

I agree that having an option to clear or delete an entire self-chat, similar to the Remove chat history option available for regular chats, would make managing conversations much easier and more convenient.

At this time, I would encourage you to raise your suggestion directly with Microsoft. To ensure your feedback reaches the right teams, I highly recommend submitting your feedback directly to Microsoft Ideas · Community, where the Microsoft product development team can know your requirements and ideas for product improvements. If enough users raise tickets for the same idea, Microsoft may consider adding this feature in the future. 

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
