Step #1: Tap and hold the Facebook messenger’s app icon on the homescreen or right from the app drawer. Drag the icon near to the “Edit” option or “Info” option. If you observe the “info” option instead “Edit” , you can skip the next step.

Step #3: Now, you can head on to the storage menu and then click on “CLEAR DATA” just as you did when navigating through the settings in the previous section.
