Can I delete the message I sent to another person on facebook?

[DeeMarie]

Okay, so I sent a message to someone that I am pretty sure they did not read yet, but I do NOT want them to read it because I made a mistake. Is there any way that I can get the whole message deleted? I tested it with my sisters facebook and she could still see the message in her inbox, even after I deleted it out of my sent messages.

Nope, not unless you get onto their account. It will be in their inbox. Sorry x

but inbox messages cannot be deleted after you send them.

No sorry you can't delete a message you sent to someone unless it was your inbox messages hope this helps.

Sorry, but you actually cannot once the message has been sent, even if deleted from the sent messages box.
The only way to delete it is to go on their account and delete it from there.
Good luck though!

no you sent it it's like a e-mail. Be careful what you send
You just deleted the message that you sent out of the messages that you've sent.

No. How about you just send them another message and tell them you made a mistake?

Once message is sent so it cannot be deleted by you.
