Boxdoy At this time it isn't possible to delete a chat but it's on the backlog at least https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33535006-delete-private-chat-threads Vote on it to stay updated when status changes.
What you would have to do now as far as I know is to delete your own messages which isn't the most handy approach.
One thing you can do about the other issue is to "end the meeting" for everyone when it's over https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/end-a-teams-meeting-for-everyone-in-attendance-5051fa72-8470-4a38-99e4-014535208971 in combination with a lobby settings that fit your needs, for example "only you" can bypass the lobby. Meaning you'd have to let the participants in when the next meeting starts so they don't automatically enter https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-participant-settings-for-a-teams-meeting-53261366-dbd5-45f9-aae9-a70e6354f88e

ChristianBergstrom thanks you for the quick response.
when i choose for end meeting the chat is still available for all the participants.

Boxdoy Yes, in that scenario you would need to manually remove the individual I suppose. Haven't tried if the chat is still available for them though (as it is when one choose to leave).
If no luck perhaps it's better to have the "sensitive chat content" in a separate Window.
