✅ How to: delete multiple messages on Discord

Contents

One of the administrative problems with running an active Discord server is that managing old messages can be a hindrance, especially if you require deleting flammable or unacceptable messages. Even though most people think of Discord as a voice chat based application, the fact is that Discord's text chat features are widely used. Discord competes with communication apps like Slack, Skype, and others, and even though Discord is focused on games, the app is actually used as an enterprise-grade chat client.

How to delete multiple messages on Discord

Go to Discord and log in.
If you are connected to Discord, go to the "Settings" section of your profile.
Then click on "Appearance" and activate the developer mode (it is regularly enabled by default, but check decidedly).
Now go to the chat you want to delete, it can be on a server channel or in a private conversation. As an example, I will choose a private call, but I know that it works everywhere and only for your messages. Your correspondent's messages are not deleted.
Click on the three little dots to see the alternatives and click on "Copy accreditation". Keep this ID in a safe place, it will be essential for the rest of the tutorial. Also note that all messages preceding the message you have chosen will be deleted.

Cloning a channel

If for some reason the MEE6 alternative doesn't work for you, the last way to delete all messages on a channel is to clone the channel. This simply creates a new copy of the channel, but does not copy it to the previous channel's message history.

Create a list of the bots you have in the channel, because cloning a channel does not always copy them.
Right click on the channel you want to clone.
Select Clone Channel.
Rename the cloned channel if you want.
Click Create Channel.
Delete the old channel.
Open the new cloned version and add all the necessary robots.

Cloning a channel also attracts all of your users and restores everyone's permissions, saving you time that you would otherwise have to spend on it. All messages from the old channel have disappeared and your new channel has the same settings.

Use HotKey

This method should work for all users, in this method we will use a shortcut key to delete some messages for us with minimal effort. For that:

Navigate to your desktop, right-click anywhere, and select New.
Select AutoHotkey Script and a new script will be created on your desktop.
Right-click on the script you created and select Edit Script.
Delete all the text that is already in the script.
Copy and paste the following text into your script.

t :: Loop, 100000 {send, {Up} send, ^ a send, {BS} send, {Enter} send, {Enter} sleep, 100} Return

Save your changes and close the script.
