Can you delete mail you have sent via linkedin
The perils of sending an email or message on LinkedIn that you later regret!
Unfortunately, LinkedIn does not have a built-in feature to delete sent messages or emails. Once you've sent a message or email through LinkedIn, it's considered a permanent record and cannot be deleted.
However, there are a few workarounds you can try:
- Request the recipient to delete the message: You can try reaching out to the recipient and politely ask them to delete the message. This might work if the recipient is a connection or someone you have a good relationship with.
- Use LinkedIn's "Report Inappropriate Content" feature: If the message you sent contains sensitive or confidential information, you can report it to LinkedIn using their "Report Inappropriate Content" feature. This might help remove the message from your sent folder, but it's not a guarantee.
- Use a third-party email client: If you used a third-party email client like Gmail or Outlook to send the message, you might be able to delete it from your sent folder using that client's interface.
- Wait for the message to expire: LinkedIn messages typically expire after a certain period (usually 30 days). If you're waiting for the message to expire, you can try to forget about it and hope it disappears from your sent folder.
Keep in mind that these workarounds are not foolproof, and there's always a chance that the message might still be visible to the recipient or in LinkedIn's archives.
To avoid sending unwanted messages in the future, make sure to proofread your messages carefully before sending them, and consider using LinkedIn's built-in features like "Draft" or "Schedule" to review and edit your messages before sending them.
