===Bulk message deletion===

Discord provides no in-app bulk message deletion; instead, you must [https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004027692-Requesting-a-Copy-of-your-Data request your data], then send Discord support a data deletion request ~~through there~~ [https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=4750383925911 privacy form]. You must provide ~~Discord support with~~ the desired message id’s and the channel id’s they were sent in, which makes this process difficult. A 3rd party website, [https://discorch.org/ Discorch], makes this process significantly easier. Discorch contains more information relevant to this topic, and detailed instructions. It is important to follow the instructions exactly as provided. Discord will likely reply with "This channel is reserved for individuals..." effectively rejecting your data deletion request. Due to this, Discorch provides a response for you to send to Discord.

When requesting your data, you only need your message data. Once you have it you can use Discorch. According to Discorch:

''"Discord acts in malicious compliance with the GDPR. You are not allowed to delete your DMs through their support flow, since you can always regain access to a DM, technically speaking, since you are always a member of the DM channel on their backend."''

In order to delete DMs in bulk you must use [https://github.com/Darker-Ink/DiscorchDeleter DiscorchDeleter], which is against Discord TOS (as it's considered self-botting), it'll automatically delete messages for you. By default the deletion interval complies with discord's ratelimits, so an account termination is unlikely. You may need to increase the interval. DiscorchDeleter requires [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/violentmonkey/jinjaccalgkegednnccohejagnlnfdag ~~Violent monkey~~] and [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vencord-web/cbghhgpcnddeihccjmnadmkaejncjndb Vencord (browser version)].

Violent Monkey requires a browser that supports Manifest V2, so consider using [https://brave.com/ Brave] or [https://www.firefox.com/en-US/ Firefox].
