I am afraid that is not possible at the moment.

Due to security policies, does not delete users’ files, only chats and related metadata. If a user downloaded a file, it will not delete it.

So, How could we delete our data if we want to delete it? Is it possible?

I suggest you please read the article I shared with you. I can not answer these questions as your account type, plan and role need to be checked. 

Hi, I just tried deleting the sent file from the sender account, and it automatically deleted the file from the receiver's account, but the receiver kept the text. I don't see a way to delete the text. Hope that will help you.  [Update: I was able to delete the text the same way, from the sender account, and it automatically deleted the text from the receiver's account.]
