To delete unopened messages on Messenger, first, navigate to the conversation containing the message. Press and hold the specific message you wish to delete. Then, select 'Remove' from the options that appear. Remember, deleting a message will remove it only from your side of the conversation; the recipient can still see it unless they've deleted it as well. For a message to be entirely gone from both sides, it must be done within 10 minutes of sending it, using the 'Remove for Everyone' option.
