It is not forbidden to delete messages and comments related to enjoining good and forbidding evil for a legitimate reason, such as the fulfillment of their intended purpose, or if there is no benefit in their retention. The important thing is that the deletion is not due to a dislike for the advice, or a refusal to accept it, or with the intention of affirming evil.
