How to Delete All Messages on Discord

We’ve all been there. You’ve said something silly, spammed too many emojis, or just want a clean slate. Whatever the reason, you’re now wondering how to delete all your messages on Discord. Sounds like a big job? Don’t worry! We’ll make it fast, fun, and simple to understand. 😎

Before we begin: There are two kinds of messages on Discord:

• Direct Messages (DMs) – private chats with friends.
• Server Messages – messages inside a server channel.

Let’s handle both. 🎯

Step 1: Know the Rules

If you’re not the server owner or a mod, you can only delete your own messages. And no, there isn’t a “delete everything” button 😢 – but there are workarounds!

Step 2: The Manual Way (Yes, You Can Click!)

This is simple but slow. Great for clearing just a few messages.

1. Open the chat or server channel.
2. Hover over your message.
3. Click the three dots (More options).
4. Select Delete Message.
5. Confirm by clicking Delete again.

Ta-da! One less message in the wild. 🧹

But wait… you’ve got hundreds more?! Then let’s kick it up a notch.

Step 3: Use Keyboard Shortcuts

This still requires some clicking, but it’s snappier.

• Press the Up Arrow in the message box to edit your last message.
• Press Ctrl + A to select all the text.
• Hit Backspace, then Enter to delete.
• Edit again, but this time delete it fully by pressing Esc then click the dots → Delete.

This method is good for recent messages. But what about older ones?

Step 4: Use a Bot (If You’re an Admin)

If you run a server or have permission, bots can save you a ton of time! 🎉

Popular cleanup bots include:

• CleanChat
• Dyno
• Mee6

Here’s how most bots do it:

1. Go to the bot’s website and invite it to your server.
2. Give it the right permissions (usually Manage Messages).
3. Type a command like !clear 100 or /purge 50.
4. Poof! Messages gone. 💨

Fun Fact: Bots usually can’t delete messages older than 14 days due to Discord’s API rules. So start soon!

Step 5: Using a Script (Advanced Users Alert!)

Trying this? Know what you’re doing. 💻

There are community-made scripts that help delete all your messages quickly. They can be pasted into your browser’s Developer Console. But:

• Use trusted sources only.
• Breaking Discord’s terms can get your account banned.
• This is not officially recommended.

If you want to be daring, search for “discord message deletion script.” Proceed with caution!

Final Tips

• Clear your browser cache if things aren’t updating right away.
• Deleting DMs? Only you can clear your side. The other person still sees your messages.
• Private messages cannot be mass-deleted without going manual.

Sometimes, the easiest fix is just to start a new account if you want a full reset! 😅

That’s a Wrap!

And there you have it — a cleaner, neater Discord! Whether you’re purging cringe convos or clearing command spam, now you know exactly how to do it.

Just remember: Think before you type. It’ll save you a lot of deleting later. 😉

Happy chatting (and deleting)! 🧽💬
