There is no way to delete a direct message on both sides. The person you sent the message to will still have access to it in their inbox unless they choose to delete it themselves.
If you want to delete a message permanently, you can do so by holding down the message and clicking ‘Unsend’. This will remove the message from your chat history, as well as the other person’s chat history.
However, it is important to note that unsending a message does not guarantee that the other person will not be able to see it. It is possible for them to take a screenshot of the message before it is deleted, or to otherwise retrieve the information from their device.
