 Hi ihab,

Thanks for waiting. Im here to help. If you have deleted or accidentally deleted a message or conversation on Messenger, you won't be able to recover it.

If you have questions please let me know.

Hi again.. I know some people found ways to access deleted mssgs.. Is there a way to find out?

Unfortunately there's no way to recover a deleted messages. Some people archive their conversation or messages. Archiving a conversation hides it from your inbox until the next time you chat with that person. Deleting a conversation permanently removes the message history from your inbox.

I can't even remember if I archived anything, but what u say is that IF i ever start a new chat, the archived mssgs will show up again ? authomatically? Also how can i delete a contact completely rather than Block them and they stay inside my "BLOCKED contacts"?

Yes. If you archive the message and start a new chat the messages will show up again. But if you deleted the messages it wont shows up. To remove a contact you just simply unfriend that person from Facebook. If you want them to stay on your blocked list you need to block the person.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

You dont need to worry. The blocked person on your list wont be able to contact you or find you on Facebook. Let me know if this helps.
