Blocking someone on Messenger does not delete messages you’ve exchanged. The conversation remains in your chat history and can still be accessed unless you choose to manually delete it. Blocking only prevents the person from contacting you through Messenger in the future. If you want to remove the chat, go to the conversation, tap on the person’s name at the top, and select Delete Conversation. However, this only deletes the chat on your end, not on the other person’s side.
