How to Delete Direct Message in Discord
There are several methods to delete direct messages in discord. Here we will provide some of the steps that will help you through process.
Deletion of Discord Direct Message History with Hotkeys
Following are the most effective methods to delete a Discord message:
- Moving the cursor over it to the right-side menu icon.
- Clicking on the icon.
- Selecting Delete.
- Once selected, kindly Confirm the deletion process by finally clicking the Delete button.
One needs to follow a sequence of commands on the keyboard, so as to confirm the process.
The sequence is mentioned below:
- Open a specific Discord DM.
- In order to select your latest message Press ‘Up’ key once.
- To activate the editor press up once again.
- To select all of the text within the field Press Ctrl + A.
- To delete the text Press Backspace.
- To substantiate the edit Press Enter once.
- To verify the deletion on the prompt Press Enter again.
Although this process sounds a bit slow but in fact once the user gets used to it the deletion takes place in a flash. This process doesn’t require rolling the cursor across the screen to make multiple selections but it can be done swiftly by using the hands on the keyboard.
Deletion of Discord DM History by using AutoHotkey
Let’s now study the automating method of deleting discord dm history with an easy AutoHotkey script.
Although as of now AutoHotkey is available for Windows users only and is yet to support macOS.
Here are a few things you’d need in the AutoHotkey script:
- To turn it on or off a toggle key will be required
- One will also require a full keyboard sequence and must make sure it has pauses after every step.
- A process that can fetch previous messages.
Deleting Discord DM History with Bots
Of lately Discord did not support the usage of self bots and now it has been termed as a violation by the creators.
However, it’s not advisable to use self-bots as it can puts the user’s account at risk of being banned. Although some reports suggests that as long as the usage of self bots is restricted to personal or private use and is not used on public portals or harms others, those accounts are not terminated. So it’s a decision that the users need to take on their own keeping the above mentioned things in mind.
A normal user account that is running on an API token by Discord is a self-bot. Now a Developer Portal has been created by Discord that also tags self bots and keeps a track of them. Creating API requests and allowing themselves to get multiple tasks assigned such as deletion of messages by evading the tracking by the portal is what self bots do.
How to Delete Channel message in Discord?
Channel messages can be deleted by using some methods that are entirely different from the ones used to delete Direct Messages.
The following three methods can be used:
Manual Method
The step by step guide to manually delete channel messages is as follows:
- Access the channel where the message you want to delete is located.
- Move the cursor on the message and on the right you’ll see a 3-dot icon that’ll open a menu and from there select delete.
- Now you’ll see a window being opened that’ll require you to verify the message you had selected. Delete once verified.
This works fine if you only have a couple of problematic messages to urge obviate, but it’s not suitable for removing large quantities of text messages.
To delete bulk messages you can use one of the methods listed below.
By Using a Discord Bot
You can find a lot of bots that support deleting bulk messages. For example one of the bots that is very popular among the server administrators is MEE6.
Installing the MEE6 bot is not really difficult and then you can sign in to your Discord server and perform the following:
- Navigate to the MEE6 website.
- Select increase Discord
- Select the acceptable server.
- Select Continue within the popup window to link the MEE6 bot to your Discord server
- You will then be required to validate and then click authorize to complete deletion.
- Above the captcha window you’ll see a box, click on that for user verification.
After installing MEE6 you’ll be able to see browser window being displayed that gives you access to a wide range of features from the browser.
Or the following commands can also be used to delete messages:
Use ‘!clear @username’ to delete a selected user’s previous 100 messages.
Use ‘!clear 500’ to remove the previous 500 messages on the channel.
You can also change the amount to reflect what percentage messages you would like to delete, up to 1,000.
This is far and away from the simplest method for deleting an outsized number of messages directly.
Remember to Clone the Channel
If the MEE6 alternative doesn’t work for you, the ultimate thanks to deleting all messages are to clone the channel. By using this process a copy of the previous channel is created without any of the messages from the old channel.
NOTE: Cloning doesn’t guarantee copying bots to the new channel, so make sure to have an inventory of the bots you have on the channel.
- Right-click on the channel you would like to clone. Select Clone Channel.
- Rename the cloned channel if you would like.
- Now open the cloned version after deleting the previous version and add any bots that are required.
All users will have updated and recreated permissions after a channel is cloned because it will also add users from the previous channel. This method proves to be handier than creating a channel from the very initial phase. By this point of time the user has a new channel with the previous settings with no messages from the previous channel.

Conclusion

The current Discord API has been supporting a ‘POST request’ method. In this ‘Post request’ method it entirely busts a Message Delete Bulk gateway event, which leads to allowing the bots to delete all messages that are fortnight old. And these old(previously generated) messages are usually deleted individually.
