The simple answer to this question is no, you cannot retrieve deleted instant messages from Facebook. One they are gone, they are gone! The reason for this is that the instant messaging is there to ensure that you can have the quick and easy option of directly talking to someone as opposed to sending private messages or writing on someone’s wall. As they cannot be saves, instant messages on Facebook are simply there for your convenience and nothing more. You can have the private conversations without people being able to retrieve the deleted instant messages that you have been sending, this could either be a good thing for you or a bad thing depending on the situation, but there is simply no way around it.

For privacy reasons you cannot retrieve the messages which allows you have to a private conversation if you think someone knows your password and is going on your profile. Once you have deleted the instant messages, you need to be aware that you cannot get the back. You will be not able to show anyone the messages that you have been sending and what other people have said. It is a simple concept that has been designed by Facebook to ensure that you can have some level of privacy from everyone completely.

You may naturally be a private person, or you just want to have a private conversation, it is completely up to you. Being able to have the convenience of the instant messaging is a special feature of Facebook and saves you waiting a long time for a message reply or something similar. Be able to have the private conversations that you want without anyone being able to retrieve the deleted instant messages that you will be sending.

I think they were asking about the INSTANT messaging feature NOT the one through email.
