Many of us have taken to heart the Marie Kondo philosophy: if it doesn't spark joy, discard.

However, in our zeal to make things go away, we may sweep aside messages that we otherwise should have clung to.

And while you're largely out of luck when it comes to throwing away your belongings, Facebook is much more forgiving. You have the option to "Archive" a Facebook message before you send it to the digital landfill.

So because those messages aren't yet lost, you can simply archive them, and unarchive them in Facebook Messenger if you wish.
