delmsg and its cross-references
delmsg
delmsg [<nick> ...]
Forgets about tell messages I've passed on: either all of them, or
only those from certain nicks. Necessary if you set tellme pester
or reliable, and also works with remind, but not with unreliable.
Use untell to delete messages you've sent, rather than received.

tellme ...
See also `help <option>', `help register' and `help identify'
tell <nick> <message ...>
Leaves a message for someone, which will be delivered according to
their `set tellme'. I will tell you about your undelivered tells
whenever I see you arriving, or when you say `ping'. See also
`help untell' and `help delmsg'.
The tellme command repeats any messages you have outstanding.
set tellme configures how you receive messages sent with tell:
set tellme insecure When I see you.
set tellme secure [<interval>] Hide body (reminding) until ident.
set tellme reject Do not accept messages.
set tellme mailto <email-addr> By email. (Secure nicks only.)
Default: `secure 600'. For insecure nicks `secure' == `insecure'.
To set when to consider messages delivered (see `help untell'):
set tellme unreliable Tell you once, then forget.
set tellme remind [<every-interval> [<within-interval>]]
Remind until you talk on channel within <within-interval>
of me having told you. (Default is remind 1h 30s.)
set tellme pester <interval> Remind until you say delmsg
untell <nick> ...
Forgets about all message(s) you've sent with tell to particular
nick(s). Use delmsg to delete messages sent *to* you. There is no
way to untell individual messages to the same nick. If your nick is
secure, you must identify yourself to use untell.
