3 Quick & Easy Ways to Mass Delete Messages on Discord

Deleting many messages on Discord can be difficult, especially if done by hand. Discord doesn’t officially support mass deletion because it might break their rules, but it’s often needed for better server management. For server owners or admins, it’s important to know how to clear messages quickly and still follow the rules.
