A conversation thread starts when a message is sent to one or more people via LinkedIn messaging. If you no longer need to keep a conversation or group chat, you can delete conversation threads individually or in bulk. You can also edit or delete a single message from a conversation.
Important to know
You can’t restore or access deleted messages. The conversation thread will only be deleted from your inbox and not from the recipient's.
