I think that itās a change that was made within the past year. I opened up my archived messages and found some automatic messages in it that dated from February this year. Not sure though.

I get the impression that itās just an intended feature at this point considering we havenāt heard a word on it in literally over 4 years, almost 5, with no change in sight.

I am bumping this bug report again, because, as some people said, I got myself into the case where I accidentally archived the message of a data erasure request, but unluckily, I havenāt noted the UserId I should have deleted. If there is no way I can recover the message, then there is no way I can delete the data associated to that UserId, if it has any. If itās intentional, then important messages like these should be archived instead.

This happened to me a while ago and I was thinking about it today, I got invited to voice chat early and I wanted to save it but it just deleted the message. I tested it today by archiving an unimportant message and it got deleted 
I hope roblox fixes this soon.

Read the thread, this is about Roblox messages from Roblox.
Well, this aged wellā¦
Special thanks to Roblox for making me panic into deleting historic records of my trades, old TCās for significant bygone games, etc.

Is this being fixed? I would like to not have to make a .txt file compiling all of the messages, as that would take time that I would rather use doing something else.
I would like to be able to use the āArchiveā feature on ROBLOXās website to prevent these messages from being erased completely.
Iāve only used it once (I think by accident, since the only message I archived was a scam message) because quite frankly the archive feature just seemed useless to me and Iām sure 90% of the platform doesnāt use it either, but if this bug could be fixed so the feature works as intended then I would like to archive all of my system messages from 2014 to 2019.
I have system messages that say that people like Shedletsky, Bereghost and other notable users on the platform had accepted my friend requests at the time before the Followers update was introduced in 2015. A lot of these messages show who accepted my friend requests (apparently I sent a lot of them back then), invited me to Team Create, and even special event messages for earning all the prizes.
I donāt want to lose these messages, as theyāre pieces of the time Iāve spent on the platform that Iāve long forgotten about. Itās a part of my history, so I think itās very important that this bug is fixed if possible.

Is anything going to be done about this? Thereās only 9 more days until this change goes into effect.
Thereās no reason why we shouldnāt be able to archive these system messages. If for whatever reason they need to be cleared to begin with, we should atleast have the option to archive them just like with any other message.
Iād really hate to lose them if thereās something that can be done about it.

This is still the case. System messages that are archived are not shown in the Archived tab with no explanation or confirmation.
They arenāt actually deleted so it is actually possible to view their contents and unarchive them with the API, they just arenāt shown in the tab.

I had a bunch of āRight to erasureā messages that i archived on accident when archiving all messages. I CANāT find it, I CANāT fulfill the right to erasure request, I DONāT have the user id.
This problem is still unresolved 8 years later. I accidentally archived a welcome message from Builderman, now itās gone. Does anyone know a way to return archived messages?

Why is this years old bug still not fixed? What is the reason for not fixing it? When is it going to be fixed if ever? Why is no Roblox staff replying to this bug report? Is it really that hard to fix it or are Roblox stuff just lazy and taking this bug as small and not fixing it? We need some explanations here.
I would honestly prefer if the messages feature get a complete revamp with the ability to both delete and archive messages, but since that probably wonāt happen anytime soon, Roblox should at least fix this bug.
