Discord has expanded at a phenomenal rate since ditching its gamer-centric stance and positioning itself as a service for everyone. Discord has something for everyone, whether it be for hosting Spotify listening parties, streaming Netflix on Discord, or anything else. Unfortunately, even if you choose to permanently delete your Discord account, your messages remain in Discord. Follow the instructions below to delete all of your messages in Discord if you’d like to.
Delete All Messages in Discord (2021)
Using a script is the simplest way to delete every Discord message. We have added the instructions to manually clear Discord messages if you would rather delete things manually. You can also use a Discord bot to delete messages if you’re a server administrator. To jump to the section that applies to your needs, use the table of contents button below.
Delete All Messages in Discord Channel or DM
Self-bots are not encouraged in Discord for bulk message deletion. In this case, we’ll use a script to delete outdated Discord messages. Use this at your own risk because there’s a chance the script will cause Discord’s anti-spam system to ban your account. Ideally, you should only use this if you intend to immediately delete your Discord account. Having said that, here is how to delete Discord messages using the script.
Install Browser Extension to Manage User Scripts
You should first download a browser extension for managing userscripts to get started. Although you might want to think about Violentmonkey (download for Chrome|download for Firefox), I’ll be using Tampermonkey.
Install Undiscord Script
1. Download and install the Undiscord script first. Installing it from GreasyFork or OpenUserJS is your choice. I’ll be getting the script from OpenUserJS in this case. Click on Install in the top right corner after opening the link.
2. Click Install when Tampermonkey’s installation prompt appears in a new tab. Before installing the script, programmers can examine the script’s source code on this page. The script can be found on GitHub as well.
Steps to Use Undiscord Script to Delete All Discord Messages
Please take note that the instructions below are for erasing DM messages in Discord. However, you can use the same procedures to delete numerous messages at once from channels.
1. It’s time to bulk erase all those unwanted messages now that you’ve installed Tampermonkey and the userscript. There is now a new trash symbol next to the standard Help button in OpenDiscord for mobile devices. To find the trash symbol, look at the image below.
2. To generate these fields, click the get buttons next to Authorization, Author, and Guild/Channel. Make sure you don’t distribute the authorization token you generate here because doing so will grant anyone full access to your account.
3. You can also choose to delete messages from a particular time frame if that is your preference. Set the start and end dates by clicking on Range.
4.Press the green Start button to begin erasing messages in bulk on Discord.
5. A window asking you to confirm removing messages will now appear in the browser. In order to confirm, click OK.
6. All that’s left to do now is watch as the script does its magic. Depending on how many messages there are, this can take some time. You may verify the status in the log once the process is complete and you will see 100% on the progress metre.
You’ve just finished deleting Discord messages in bulk. Do not remove all of your Discord conversation history at once if you have a large amount of it. Instead, delete messages per month using the range tool, and do so at separate times to avoid activating Discord’s anti-spam system. You have nothing to lose and can remove all of your prior Discord communications if you’re going to cancel the account anyhow.
Remove Discord Messages in Discord Channel or DM Manually
1. If you’re brand-new to Discord and are unsure how to remove a message, follow these steps. Click the More button with the horizontal three dots when you are above a message.
2. From the available choices, select Delete Message.
3. To delete a message from a channel or direct message, click Deleteagain when the confirmation pop-up appears.
Use Bots to Remove Discord Messages in Server
Using bots to delete messages is an option if you’re the server administrator. I’ll be utilising the well-known MEE6 bot, which also has delete functionality, even though there are specialist bots like CommandCleanup to do this.
AddMEE6 to your Discord server in step 1. If the MEE6 bot is already installed on your server, you can skip this step. If you’re new to Discord, use these instructions to add bots to your server.
2. To remove a specific number of messages from a Discord channel, use the command!clear number of messages>. Please be aware that there is a maximum of 1000 messages, and you may delete messages up to two weeks old.
3. Shortly after you send the command message, the MEE6 bot will delete the message and prompt you to confirm the deletion.
Clone Discord Channel to Purge Messages
1. If you are the server administrator and you want to swiftly erase messages from a particular channel, you may simply clone the channel and delete the previous one. Clone Channel can be selected by right-clicking the current channel.
2. You can now keep the channel’s name the same or make a minor change. Click Create Channel after entering the name.
3. Discord will copy the original channel and keep its user cap and permissions. Right-clicking now and selecting Delete Channel will allow you to remove the old channel.
4. When the pop-up window appears, select Delete Channel once more, and you’re done! The same participants are now on a brand-new channel that you control.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does deleting Discord account delete messages?
Unfortunately, your message will not be deleted if you delete your Discord account. While messages will remain, the service will modify the terminated account’s username to something like Deleted User#0000. Before deactivating your Discord account, you can manually erase bulk Discord messages by following the instructions here.
2. Is it safe to use bots to delete Discord messages?
Self-bot removal is not something Discord advises. However, you can delete messages that adhere to the organization’s API requirements by using bots like MEE6.
3. Does deleting a message on Discord delete it for everyone?
A communication is really deleted for both the sender and the recipient. You can only remove your own messages; the ones that the other person sends you cannot be deleted.

On Discord, blocking someone won’t make their messages disappear. The person who blocked you can still see the previous chat history even though they can no longer send you messages.
5. Can you permanently delete Discord chat history?
Yes, you can use the Undiscord script to permanently remove your Discord chat history. To delete outdated Discord messages, adhere to the instructions in this comprehensive guide.
