How to delete sent DMs?

So, if I say I send DMs, then go into my "Sent Messages" folder, check the box next to that specific one, and hit "delete"—does the recipient still have it in their inbox? Like, am I actually canceling the message, or am I just deleting my own record of what I sent while they still see it?

Is there actually a way to "track" sent messages? I can't quite wrap my head around how it works, but as far as I know, once you hit send, it's out there. The recipient gets it, and all you can really do is delete it from your own account.
Though, I guess if you're fast enough, you might be able to scrub it before they even see it. 🤔

You might be able to delete it somehow before they actually read it. 🤔

Just let a bloodhound "track" them down. 🙂
