The process itself is pretty much the same as we’ve seen in most other messaging apps. Here’s what you need to do. 

• Open Messenger and head over to the chat where you want to delete the image from.
• Tap and hold on the image. You’ll see a bunch of options. Tap on the Remove icon in the bottom right. 
• You’ll see two options here. 
  • Unsend: Selecting this will remove the image for both the participants in the chat and delete it completely.
  • Remove for you: Selecting this will remove the image only on your end.
