Actually, the script looks for ChannelMessage.ReadWrite, which is one of the scope permissions listed. Maybe your session didn’t have this permission?

I’m not sure why the script can’t delete posts by unknown users or apps. That seems strange. But again, did your session have ChannelMessage.ReadWrite?

This helped.

The issue I see is that it doesn’t seemt to delete posts by UU (old users) and posts by Apps like Trello which are no longer in use.

Ah, this is an Edu tenant… I don’t know anything about Edu tenants except that they can be different to commercial tenants. I don’t have access to an edu tenant so I can’t debug the issue.

Maybe you didn’t have the permission to remove messages? Are you a team owner?

We have only had one request to clean up a channel conversation.Most times the old team is destroyed and a new one created.

I have tested it in our environment without issue so far and am modifying it accordingly to warn that all messages in the selected channel will be permanently deleted.
