You can’t edit or delete a message once it is already sent. You can keep a local copy to edit and send again, but it is simply a new message to the receiver.

Support for XEP-0308: Last Message Correction is what you need server and client side - but it’s not supported in Smack (see Smack-714). Deleting or retracting a sent message is not possible.

While SMACK-714 is still open, there are already low level parts for “Last Message Corection” in Smack. The issue remains open because, as also explained in this issue comment, I’d like to see a high level API at one point in the future.

Please also note that XEP-0308 is a client-only XEP, there is no support by the server required.

Thx for quick reply.

So it’s possible from server side means openfire is delete message after send to user.

Openfire provide any api for delete message from user chat screen.

Possible? Sure. But then the user would still have received the message.

I don’t think so, and even if it did, it would require cooperation from the client.

Message deletion/retraction in a federated environment is not reliable. It only is if you have control over every involved software component.
