How to Clear Discord Chat?
Discord chat consists of two types of messaging options available on its platform. One is direct messaging which takes place between two individuals and another one is channel messaging which takes place between members of a Discord channel. You can clear Discord chat in two ways:
- Clear Direct Messages
- Clear Channel Messages
1. Clear Direct Messages
Direct messages refer to the individual conversations shared between two people on the platform. To clear direct messages in Discord, follow the given steps:
1. Open Discord and log into your account.
2. On your home, select ‘Friends’ option.
3. Click on the ‘Message icon’ beside the name of the person whose message you wish to delete.
4. On the left side of the screen in the Direct Message panel, hover over the conversation and tap the X that appears.
5. The message gets removed from your end.
The chats inside the messages however do not get deleted and will appear when you open the chat box again when you repeat steps 2 and 3 or if that person sends you a message again. You can however delete individual messages that you sent by:
1. Hover the cursor over the message you wish to delete.
2. Click on the ‘Three dots’.
3. Select ‘Delete message’.
4. Click on ‘Delete’ to confirm.
In this way, you can clear Discord chat in a direct message individually.
2. Clear Channel Messages
Channel messages are the texts between different members of a particular server where they can interact to discuss on many unique topics. To clear channel messages in Discord, follow the given steps:
1. Open Discord and log into your account.
2. Go to the server you wish to delete messages from.
3. Hover the cursor over the message you wish to delete.
4. Click on the ‘Three dots’.
5. Select ‘Delete message’.
6. Click on ‘Delete’ to confirm.
In this way, you can clear Discord chat in a channel individually.
How to Use Discord Bot to Clear Chat?
One of the easiest ways for you to clear Discord chat in a bulk is if you use a bot such as Mee6 to delete the messages. When using a bot, you can clear server messages in a bulk either entirely, or of a specific user. However, this cannot be used for individual messages. To use the Discord bot to clear chat, follow the given steps:
1. Open mee6.xyz on your browser.
2. Click on ‘Add to Discord’.
3. Enter your Discord account details and ‘Authorize’ the account to Mee6.
4. Select the server you wish to add the bot to.
5. On your dashboard, scroll down and enable the ‘Moderator’ plugin for the bot.
6. Now go to the server you wish to clear chat from the Discord app.
7. Open the channel and type ‘!clear @username’ and send it to delete the last 100 messages from a specific user.
8. The messages from the user get cleared.
9. Or, type in ‘!clear 500’ to clear the last 500 messages from the channel.
In this way, you can clear the bulk of messages from a Discord server using a bot.
How to Clone a Channel on Discord?
If the process of clear chat using the bot does not work out or seems lengthy to you, the best alternative method is to clone the channel. Cloning the channel creates a replica of the previous channel with the same members as well as bots included. The best part is that it gets rid of your messages in the previous channel. To do so, follow the given steps:
1. Open Discord and right-click on the channel whose message you want to delete.
2. Select the ‘Clone channel’ option.
3. Enter the new name for the channel.
4. Click on ‘Create Channel’.
5. The new channel will be created.
6. Right click on the previous channel again and select ‘Delete channel’.
7. Select ‘Delete’ to confirm.
8. The channel will be deleted.
In this way, you can clone a Discord channel. Along with cleaning the chats with the various method mentioned above, there is one more alternative way you can clear the chat and completely make it disappear with someone. This is by blocking someone on Discord.
Can I select multiple messages and delete them at once?
Unfortunately not. Discord does not permit the deletion of multiple messages on its platform at once. You can either do so individually or, use server bots for deleting a bulk.
Can I only delete one message?
Yes, you can click on the Three dots option beside the message you sent and select ‘Delete message’ to delete that particular message on both sides on Discord.
Can I add multiple bots on a single server?
Of course, you can. You can add as many bots as you wish on the server and assign them different roles according to your preference.
Conclusion
Hence, by using the steps mentioned above in the article, you can now easily clear Discord chat. You can clear Discord chat on direct messages as well as channel individually using the same steps. However, if you wish to clear chat from a server entirely, it is recommended to clone the channel as it is less time-consuming and more efficient.
