delete-me-discord 1.7.2

Tool to mass delete your Discord messages and reactions with filters and retention controls.

Delete Me Discord

Delete Me Discord is a command-line tool for deleting your own Discord messages and reactions with explicit filters and retention controls.

⚠️ Using automated tools on Discord may violate Discord’s Terms of Service. Use at your own risk.

What It Does

• Deletes your own messages in DMs and guild text channels.
• Optionally deletes your own reactions too.
• Lets you scope runs by channel, guild, or parent/category ID.
• Supports dry-run previews before making changes.
• Supports rolling cleanup with time- and count-based preservation.
• Can operate in a buffered per-channel mode for clearer timing output in manual runs.

Installation

Choose one:

• Python installs require Python 3.10 or newer.
• pipx install delete-me-discord
• pip install delete-me-discord
• Download a prebuilt binary from the latest release

Quick Start

Export your token first:

export DISCORD_TOKEN=<your_token>

You can obtain your token using this guide.

Then discover targets safely:

delete-me-discord --list-guilds
delete-me-discord --list-channels

Preview a full wipe of one channel before executing it:

delete-me-discord --include-ids <channel_id> --delete-reactions --preserve-n 0 --preserve-last 0 --dry-run

Drop --dry-run only after the plan looks right.

Common Use Cases

Full channel cleanup:

delete-me-discord --include-ids <channel_id> --delete-reactions --preserve-n 0 --preserve-last 0 --dry-run

Rolling retention:

delete-me-discord --preserve-last "weeks=2" --preserve-n 20 --fetch-max-age "weeks=2,days=1" --preserve-cache --dry-run
