If you want you can set your delete time for your private message.

like that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=prune

do whatever you want. take the control

Keep in mind that will only delete messages in your mailbox. Any messages you have sent will still remain in the recipient's mailbox.

Thank you. I wouldnt know that.

Depending on the settings the PMs might still exist if both versions are deleted, because they have been send via mail as a notification.

Even if you don't receive email notifications, copies of the PM will still be saved in the forum's backups after they are deleted from both the sender's outbox and recipient's inbox. PM's (and other things) are backed up roughly once every 24 hours (although I don't believe there is a set time for the backup - at least not to my knowledge)

That code snippet has to do with deleted posts, not PMs.

PMs are deleted from the database when the sender and all recipients delete it. If this doesn't happen, then it's not deleted. There is no expiration. PMs can also end up stored long-term in the forum's periodic database backups.

On this forum, topics and replies are never truly deleted, and edits are also logged.

for how long do the personal messages stay, for example i send message to other person and for how long it will stay in his inbox?

If the source code of the board is not modified then the messages are removed from the database. This is rare these days, most of the web software simply sets a delete flag. In the source code of SMF you can see the SQL queries of those deletes:

Code:

// Delete anything related to the topic.
   $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
   DELETE FROM {db_prefix}messages
   WHERE id_topic IN ({array_int:topics})',
   array(
   'topics' => $topics,
   )
   );

This makes it unavailable for direct access. The data is still on the drive somewhere until overwritten.
In short, the message is there unless the drive is overwritten.
