# How to delete a conversation

__Conversations are not deleted automatically in Crisp, but workspace members with the right permissions can remove them manually.__

Crisp keeps conversation history by default, which is why deletion is an explicit action. If you really need to remove a conversation, you can do it directly from the Inbox interface.

# Delete a conversation from the list

Open [Crisp](https://app.crisp.chat), then go to the conversation list in the Inbox.

#### Two quick ways to delete

__You can delete a conversation in either of these ways:__

* Slide the conversation to the left until the delete action appears
* Right-click the conversation to open its quick actions menu

# Restrict deletion to owners only

If you do not want regular members to remove conversations or contacts, owners can disable that permission.

Go to ****Settings → Workspace Settings → Operators in the Team**** and enable ****Prevent non-owner operators to remove data (conversations & contacts)****.
