Hover Over the Message:
Hover your cursor over the message, and you'll see a "More actions" (three dots) icon appear.
Click "More actions":
Click on the "More actions" icon to reveal a drop down menu.
Choose "Delete Message":
In the dropdown menu, select "Delete message." Confirm the action if prompted.
Message Deletion Confirmation:
