# discord-delete

A tool for deleting Discord message history.

>:warning: **Any tool for deleting messages, including this one, could result in the termination of your account** (see [self-bots](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002192352-Automated-user-accounts-self-bots-)).

>Discord appears to have recently started cracking down on self-bots. You may be required to verify your account using a phone number upon using this tool.

## Features

- Dry run mode

- Fast and efficient deletions

- Automatic token retrieval + decryption from Discord client (Windows, macOS)

## Usage

- [Running a deletion](https://github.com/cedws/discord-delete/wiki/Running-a-deletion)

- [Skipping specific channels](https://github.com/cedws/discord-delete/wiki/Skipping-specific-channels)

It is recommended to first open all your DMs with tools such as [discord-dms-opener](https://github.com/Evangelions/discord-dms-opener) and then proceed for deletion.

## Why?

Discord blatantly does not care about privacy.

- No end-to-end encryption

- No built-in ability to delete full message history (not even on account deletion - they will only "anonymise" the messages)

- Demanding a mobile phone number from the user, in some cases in order to continue using the account

- Outright banning the use of alternative clients (which perhaps omit the telemetry that the proprietary client has)

...amongst other egregious infringements on privacy, which you can find a list of [here](https://privacyspy.org/product/discord/) and [here](https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord).
