# WhatsApp — Delete chat

Automatically delete chat on web.whatsapp.com. Delete a WhatsApp chat by exact name — removes the whole conversation from your chat list and from all your devices, and confirms afterwards that it is really gone. This permanently deletes the conversation and cannot be undone, so the exact chat name should be confirmed with the user before running it rather than inferred or guessed. A group you are still a member of cannot be deleted until you leave it, and that case is reported as a clear error.
