Spaces – formerly known as Rooms – in Google Chat are the primary place in Google Workspace to communicate, collaborate, and get work done. As such, a user role exists within Workspace to manage and moderate a space, aptly named Space Managers.

To delete a chat message, the Space Manager will need to hover over a message and select the “Delete the message” option, as seen below.
