With Redact, you can remove all of your discord messages with the single click of a button, or you can target them by things like keywords, dates, where they were posted, or even specific people who they were posted to.

The Redact App allows you to take control of your social media presence, and your social media past, as well. Keep your online reputation pristine, keep it private, or get rid of it entirely. With Redact, you have the power.

In addition to Discord, Redact works with over 30 different social media platforms. From Facebook and Reddit to Twitter and Slack, and everything in between. Redact is the most powerful social media management app on the market. No other app works with this many different platforms. Redact is free to download and try.

OK, back to the topic at hand which is removing discord messages in bulk all at once. Let’s get started with that how-do.

Step-by-Step Guide to Delete All Discord Messages at Once using the Redact App


Step 1: Download and Install Redact.dev

  1. Visit the official Redact.dev website
  2. Download the Redact.dev application for your operating system. (located in the top right)

Step 2: Connect your Discord account

  1. Open the Redact.dev app and log in to your Discord account securely.
  2. Grant the necessary permissions for Redact.dev to access your Discord. This allows the software to locate and manage your messages within Discord.

Step 3: Select Discord & tell Redact what type of account you have

  1. Choose Discord from the sidebar.
  2. This will bring up Discord on the main screen. From here, you should select “Delete From Discord“. There is also a mass delete option for Discord moderators, but for this how-to we are sticking to individual / personal Discord accounts.

Step 3: Select Discord & tell Redact what type of account you have

  1. Choose which Discord server(s) to delete from.
  2. This will allow you to target specific channels within that server.

Step 4: Select your date range. Default is set to all-time.

  1. Choose which date-range you want to delete from. To delete all-time messages, leave it as the default settings, or as-seen in the screenshot below.

Step 5: Select your deletion options.

  1. Choose which type of content you’re trying to remove. Messages for the classic menu for all messages across discord, Forum topics to delete a topic and all of its messages
  2. If you are trying to remove messages that contain a specific keyword(s), this is where you add those words.
  3. If you’re hunting for messages where specific users were mentioned, this is where you enter those usernames.

Step 6: Select your deletion options.

  1. This option allows you to start at the beginning of your history and search forward. Or you can start at your newest messages, and search them backwards. This setting is useful for people who have a lot of history within their Discord account.
  2. Determine how to search for words or phrases.
  3. If you select any of these, it does NOT include text-only messages. The default search setting, no boxes checked, is to search all types of messages. If you select one or more of the boxes, it will only look for what you have checked and skip over text only messages. You will want to do a few test searches just to be sure.

Step 7: Test searches & deletion modes

  1. Preview Mode – I very highly recommend using this mode a lot. This allows you to tweak your search settings and do dry test runs. The last thing you want to do is do a bulk wipe of your Discord history and have it be the wrong thing. Preview mode is your friend, use it often!
  2. Deletion Mode – This is it, the real thing. Once you press that button, this data can’t be recovered. Make sure you check the results in preview mode before you start deleting.
  3. Select & Delete – This is like a happy medium for those of you who aren’t ready to give complete control to the Redact App. Here you will be able to browse the search results of your Discord data while picking and choosing what to delete.
  4. Schedule Deletion – This is where you can schedule regular deletions. Want to delete all messages from a specific server/channel once a week on Sunday night? Easy. Want to automatically wipe your entire Discord history everyday at midnight? Cake.

That’s basically it. With our app you can automate the managing, cleaning, or mass deletion of your Discord content. We also support most other mainstream social media sites.
