Not really. Facebook Messenger holds exactly the same personal data as Facebook, and it can linger even after you've deactivated your Facebook account.
Some information, like messages you sent to friends, may still be visible to them after you delete your account. Copies of messages you have sent are stored in your friends' inboxes.
You can keep using Messenger after you deactivate your Facebook account. If you had a Facebook account and deactivated it, using Messenger won't reactivate your Facebook account, and your Facebook friends can still message you.
You'll need to create a Facebook account to use Messenger. You can then deactivate your Facebook account and log into Messenger using your Facebook account information. This is called a Deactivated Except Messenger Account (DEMA).
You can't deactivate your Messenger without deactivating your entire Facebook account, so keep that in mind when you decide what to do. You can always take a break from social media and plan to get back on, since Facebook allows you to temporarily deactivate.
Log into your Facebook account. Click See all in Messenger. Click on the options wheel next to a conversation. Click Delete if you want to erase all the messages.

Tap at the top of your Feed. Tap to open the conversation. Tap in the top right, then tap Delete conversation. Tap Delete to confirm.
Look for "This person is unavailable on Messenger" in the typing area. If you see this message in the area where you'd normally type a message, you are not blocked—the person has either deactivated their account, or the account was deleted by Facebook.
Some of the reasons why you can't delete a message on Messenger include, you don't have the necessary permission, the site/app is experiencing some technical problems, or the sender has already deleted the message.
If you accidentally deleted a chat on Messenger, you can check and restore it using the Archive feature. Instead of permanently deleting it, we may accidentally archive it.

If you deactivate your account:
This will mean you can access your photos, videos, friends and groups again. People can't see your timeline or find your account in a search unless you reactivate the account. Some things may remain visible (for example: private messages you have sent).
The Facebook help page says: “When you delete your account, people won't be able to see it on Facebook. It may take up to 90 days to delete all of the things you've posted, like your photos, status updates or other data stored in backup systems.
Your friends won't be able to notify you via a poke, message, or otherwise that they want to connect with you. They also won't have any way of knowing from the network that you have temporarily taken down your account. The only way they'll know is if you tell them.
