How to delete one conversation, channel, or server

Disponível em inglês

On Discord and Slack you pick where to delete before anything else: one DM, one channel, a whole server, or all of it. Unpost deletes the messages you sent; other people’s stay (to remove theirs where you moderate, see How to delete other people's messages as an admin).

  1. 01

    Open the account and choose Delete from Discord

    Tap your Discord account on Main. The sheet asks how to delete: Delete from Discord works on the conversations Discord still lists for you.

    Na app Main → Discord → account → Delete from Discord

    The How should we delete? sheet for Discord with Delete from Discord highlighted.
  2. 02

    One conversation: tick it on the Dms tab

    The list opens on the Dms tab: your direct messages and group chats. Tick only the ones to clean; the search box finds one by name.

    Na app Delete from Discord → Dms

  3. 03

    One channel or a whole server: open it on the Servers tab

    Tap a server to open its list of text channels, then tick single channels, or tap Select all to take every channel in that server. There is no box for the server itself: Select all inside it is how you clean a whole server. Threads aren’t listed; they are reached through the channel they were started in (next step).

    Na app Delete from Discord → Servers → server

  4. 04

    Choose whether threads and reactions go too

    Tap Continue. Under What to delete, Delete comments, threads and reactions is selected at first: it goes through every message in each conversation you ticked, so it also deletes your messages in threads started there and removes your reactions. Delete only comments, marked faster, searches a server channel for your own messages instead of reading every one, and doesn’t clean threads: pick it there to keep your reactions and everything in threads. In a DM or group chat, keep Delete comments, threads and reactions: in the current version of the app, Delete only comments finds nothing there (the run ends with Nothing deleted). Then tap Delete.

    Na app Continue → What to delete → Delete

    Discord’s options screen with the What to delete choice highlighted: Delete only comments, or Delete comments, threads and reactions, which is selected.
  5. 05

    On Slack: Dms or channels, then what goes

    Choose Delete from Slack on the sheet, then tick conversations on the Dms tab or channels on the channels tab. After Continue, Delete Options has Delete Messages, Delete Threads and Delete Reactions, all ticked at first: untick what you want to keep, then tap Delete.

    Na app Main → Slack → account → Delete from Slack

    Slack’s options screen with Delete Options highlighted: Delete Messages, Delete Threads and Delete Reactions, all ticked.

Bom saber

  • In DMs you can only delete the messages you sent. On Discord, the banner at the top of the list says so.
  • A Discord DM you closed may not be in the Dms list. Delete from data package works from your Discord data export instead and lists the conversations found in it (see How to delete old messages with a data package).
  • The date range and keywords on the same options screen narrow a run further: see How to delete only a date range and How to delete messages containing a keyword.
