===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 via their [https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=4750383925911 privacy form]. You must provide the desired message id’s and the channel id’s they were sent in, which makes this process difficult.

You must provide the desired message id’s and the channel id’s they were sent in, which makes this process difficult. You will receive your data to the email tied to the account. If you change the email before receiving the data, your data will not be redirected to the new email. Your request will also be canceled if you disable or delete your account before receiving the data.

A third-party website, [https://discorch.org/ Discorch], makes this process significantly easier. Discorch contains more information relevant to this topic, and detailed instructions that should be followed exactly. Discord will likely reply with "This channel is reserved for individuals...", rejecting your data deletion ~~request. Due~~ to ~~this, Discorch provides a response~~ for ~~you~~ to ~~send back to Discord~~. ~~Discord will also refuse to delete messages you~~ have ~~access to~~, so you ~~must leave relevant servers and group DMs before sending a~~ data ~~deletion request. If you~~ have deleted your ~~account,~~ you ~~cannot delete your messages~~.

Once discord begins message deletion it can take up to 24 hours for all requested messages to be deleted. After 24 hours have passed, you'll need to request your data package again to confirm all requested messages have been deleted. You can only request your data again 30 days after you previously requested data.

When requesting your data, you only need your message data. ~~Once~~ you have it you can use Discorch. According to Discorch:<blockquote> ''"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."''</blockquote>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, though use at your own risk. You may need to increase the interval. ~~This~~ will also work outside of DMs if you'd like to avoid discord support or remain in relevant servers and group DMs.
