The new message page (accessible here ) shows a list of conversations, chats or messages.
To delete an individual message from a conversation, select the conversation list on the left and click on the menu at the top right “Actions.”Choose “Delete messages” and select with the cursor / messages you want to delete from the conversation. Now click on the button “Delete” and confirm the deletion.Facebook warns you that this is an action that cannot be undone.

The conversation will exist until both you and the other person delete the conversation.
What if you want to delete all the messages in your account? Do you need to repeat the process for each conversation? In theory yes, but with a little trick you can delete all conversations in one click.
The trick is to install an extension available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
If you use Chrome the extension to install is Facebook Fast Delete Messages. If you use Firefox install the script Delete Facebook Messages (a Greasemonkey add-on).
Both add a button “Delete All” to the messages page. Clicking the button will permanently delete all conversations in your Facebook.
