after two days or the weeks ..etc, I deleted what i wrote in that chat/forum room according to the button of deletion allowed to the member.... CAN WE CONSIDER this deletion as a case of damaging the system, i.e. criminal action?

no, removing your own post is not damage to the system, nor is it criminal. it's called editing.

It sounds like you are saying you joined a site on the Internet, said something you regret and then thought about it and deleted your posts before leaving the forum for good. Each site has a set of rules you read when you sign up to be a member. Some have privacy rules and some have other rules.
As for criminal action or damaging the system I do not think you did anything even remotely close to that. You may want to go back to the site and read the rules for joining or participation in the forums/chat. Most of what people say and do on the computer in chat rooms is harmless unless you did something perverted. Then, I would be worried if I was in your shoes, but I don't think you would be openly asking for help in that kind of situation.
Best of luck

Certainly not. Clearly they wouldn't provide a great big button for the ordinary user that would cause system damage. Deleting a post is a perfectly normal thing to do.

I'd say no since you are just deleting comments which are recoverable. If you were to delete or compromise the structure of the database or site itself with scripting or something posted then it would be a different story.
Of course i'm in IT...don't ask me what a layer would tell you.
