Message Minus Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for hide comment options in a moderator's menu, pulling a reply from public view without deleting it; and turn off comments toggles in a post's settings, closing its thread to new replies. For an open tree branch or a partly checked header checkbox, use the Minus Squared icon. For deleting a message for good from a row menu or a bulk selection, use the Trash icon.

Square chat bubble with a minus sign inside, for removing messages, deleting comments and closing chats. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Message Minus icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Square chat bubble with a minus sign inside, for removing messages, deleting comments and closing chats. Typical uses: delete message action button, remove reply from a thread and close chat item control.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Hide comment options in a moderator's menu, pulling a reply from public view without deleting it
Turn off comments toggles in a post's settings, closing its thread to new replies

For an open tree branch or a partly checked header checkbox, use the Minus Squared icon. For deleting a message for good from a row menu or a bulk selection, use the Trash icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Speech Bubble Text and Message Edit sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Communication set: Message 24, Message Add, Message Heart and Message Notify.

When was it added?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
