If you're looking to hide a message or thread from your page, but not get rid of it completely, just Archive it. Archiving removes the items from your messages, but they can still be accessed at anytime.
If you want that message gone for good, you can delete the entire conversation (all messages within the thread) or just a particular message. You will be warned that any deletion will remove the message from this realm and the next.
On Facebook's mobile app, the process is more or less the same. If you have the most recent version, your messages and chats will come in the form of Chat Heads. If you click on a Chat Head, it will bring you into the standard messaging screen, but you can't delete a message from within a Ch

I started a Facebook messenger video chat with my girlfriend as we do quite often. She's 6,000 miles away in another country.
She answered but the video portion didn't start - just the audio. I hear her talking briefly to a man in Spanish. She said something to him quickly . He said something (close behind her phone on the non-video camera side). She said something. He responded....
The video turns on suddenly as she's finished the brief sentance to him. Her eyes are looking just off where it sounded like he was standing, saw my video start and looked into the camera with a semi-scared/shocked look. I was asking her, "Who are you talking to?" She stalled a second... "Uh... No one". I hung up. I'm not jealous or paranoid at all. Just tons of things made sense. He can have her - if that's indeed what's happening. It's now killing me to somehow replay this.
I'd guess there's no way to see this video converation... I've been through so much chaos this would just be a relief at this point to somehow replay... I didn't record - i just hit the video icon as usual.
In our chat, I see the time and "video ended" with a time stamp. Are these automatically archived or some way to play this? Even her family told me she's been seen with someone else. 6,000 miles away is rough to know... Thanks
