Hi Cheryl,

Unfortunately, there is no option for a user to retrieve a deleted message thread. But if you need it for legal matter, you will have to get a court order first and then file a report to Facebook so they can get you back those messages. Here's a link to file a report Facebook Report

Is there a way that I can contact Facebook directly? Since this is my Facebook Account, I don't understand why I would have to get a court order when this is all my own private information?

Hi Cheryl,

Facebook has its own guidelines for legal matters. Facebook communicates via online through requests and does not have phone support.

Please check/review the guidelines by clicking the link below to be guided on how to request records in facebook.
