Mass Delete Stack Exchange Messages FAQ
There is no single remove all button for inbox messages. You can clear items one by one. Bulk tools can automate batches with filters you control.
Inbox notifications, comment mentions, chat messages where supported, private messages on sites that allow them, and moderator notices that appear in your inbox view.
Open Redact and choose Stack Exchange. Sign in, select Messages and Mentions, then choose the target sites. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access needed to perform actions you approve.
Filter by date ranges, specific sites like Stack Overflow or Super User, message types such as comments, chat, or mentions, and keyword matches in the message preview text.
Use Preview to review matches with no changes, Deletion to remove all matches, Select and Delete to approve items one by one, and Scheduled Deletion to run recurring sweeps.
Yes. Use Before, After, or Between date filters. You can start with older than 1 year or a custom range, then expand if you like the results.
Clearing your inbox removes your record of the message. The underlying comments, posts, or chat logs can still exist. Remove or edit those separately if needed.
No. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access required to execute your actions. You can disconnect Stack Exchange from Redact at any time.
It is a good idea to bookmark important threads or copy links to a private note. If you need full data, check site specific export options where available.
Redact batches actions and spaces requests to respect platform limits. For thousands of items, run smaller date slices or schedule multiple passes for stability.
Yes. Use keyword filters for names, projects, or topics. Review matches in Preview, then clear only those items to avoid losing useful notices.
No. Clearing your inbox does not affect reputation or badges. Those stats depend on posts, votes, and accepted answers that live outside the inbox view.
Yes. Save your filters and schedule weekly or monthly runs. This keeps your inbox lean and reduces distractions from old mentions and notices.
Start with a small Preview, keep a whitelist of sites or keywords to preserve, approve a short Select and Delete batch, then expand your ranges after you confirm results.
