There is no way to disable chat. Currently chats are stored forever.
You could create your own custom Client UI without access to chat, if you don't want anyone to have access to it.
There may be a limit on how long chats remain when you have HIPAA enabled, but that is an extra feature you have to contact sales to have enabled and even then I can't find info on whether it still controls how long chats are retained. It is only available in US-East.

It is not possible to disable PureCloud Collaborate Chat.
I, too, am very much interested in hearing someone's response to whether or not chat messages can be deleted or how long PureCloud Collaborate Chat messages are retained.

Hi People.
we have a customer that wants PureCloud chat feature deactivated and current chat history deleted, i first assumed that it could be fixed by the roles, but it seems that chat is embeded in the employee role which is basic role for agent and therefor needed to login to PureCloud.. we then tried removing all permissions and just adding a few not related to chat in order to login... but chat still shows.. and i dont see a way to delete chat conversations trough the API as well... does anyone have a fix for this of is it just not possible to disable at all ??
