Hi guys, I have a friend who is asking about how to delete the entire chat history, not from a server but a direct chat/message from Discord, I have tried a few things on the internet and I was able to get it to delete some of the history for them but it then stops and wont continue and will refuse to go any further, does anyone know of a simple quick way to do this? as my friend has a few yrs of chat history that they want deleted!

:toast:
 
just delete the entire dm and open a new one

How do you mean? will all the old msgs from the old DM been removed? and Im not sure how to delete a DM permanently.
 
Contact discord to ask to get the account closed and all information related to the account purged? Closest you can get probably.

That doesn't erase messages sent. All it does is hide the chat until one or the other sends a message.

Thats what I thought! surely there is a way? just a more simple way of doing this.
 
I would hope that someone would read the documentation before using a script from github. I have been using it everywhere for almost a year. People like me are probably why some accounts are being terminated.
 
1. hovering over it to reveal the right-side hamburger menu icon.
2. clicking on the icon.
3. selecting Delete.
4. confirming the deletion by clicking the Delete button.
Does this work?

I have no idea where this hamburger menu icon is meant to be when in a DM?

I tried the above one and i dont get a trash can icon ether......
