Learn how to delete user and group conversations from the logged-in user’s conversation list using the CometChat Flutter SDK.

Quick Reference for AI Agents & Developers

// Delete a user conversation
await CometChat.deleteConversation(
  "UID",
  CometChatConversationType.user,
  onSuccess: (String message) => debugPrint("Deleted: $message"),
  onError: (CometChatException e) => debugPrint("Error: ${e.message}"),
);

// Delete a group conversation
await CometChat.deleteConversation(
  "GUID",
  CometChatConversationType.group,
  onSuccess: (String message) => debugPrint("Deleted: $message"),
  onError: (CometChatException e) => debugPrint("Error: ${e.message}"),
);

In case you want to delete a conversation, you can use the deleteConversation() method.

Available via: SDK | REST API | UI Kits

This method takes two parameters. The unique id (UID/GUID) of the conversation to be deleted & the type (user/group) of conversation to be deleted.

This operation is irreversible. Deleted conversations cannot be recovered. All messages in the conversation will be removed from the user’s view.

Delete User Conversation

String conversationWith = "UID";
String conversationType = CometChatConversationType.user;
await CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith, conversationType,
   onSuccess: (String str){
     debugPrint("Conversation deleted successfully at : $str");
   },
   onError: (CometChatException e){
     debugPrint("Conversation deletion failed : ${e.message}");
  	}
);

Delete Group Conversation

String conversationWith = "GUID";
String conversationType = CometChatConversationType.group;
await CometChat.deleteConversation(conversationWith, conversationType,
   onSuccess: (String str){
     debugPrint("Conversation deleted successfully at : $str");
   },
   onError: (CometChatException e){
     debugPrint("Conversation deletion failed : ${e.message}");
  	}
); 

This method deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete a conversation for all the users of the conversation, please refer to our REST API documentation here.

The deleteConversation() method takes the following parameters:

Parameter	Description	Required
conversationWith	UID of the user or GUID of the group whose conversation you want to delete.	YES
conversationType	The type of conversation you want to delete . It can be either user or group.	YES
