2 Best Discord Bots (or Apps) to Delete Messages on Servers
Deleting a message on Discord is as simple as hovering over the message, opening the menu, and selecting Delete. But to delete multiple messages or auto-delete them, try Discord bots (Discord now calls them apps). Here are two Discord bots/apps to delete multiple messages with a single command and one neat trick to delete all messages.

Things to Note
Before we proceed, if you are wonderinghow to add bots to the Discord server, check out this detailed guide.
1. Cleaner
you may use Cleaner to delete a specific number of messages from a particular user. Here are all the commands and respective features supported by the Cleaner bot.
Apart from that, you can also add words you don’t want on your server like abuse or adult-related, and the bot will automatically delete all messages that include the listed words.

2. EazyAutodelete
Cleaner can automatically delete messages with bad words but does not provide enough options to auto-delete messages. If you want to control how messages are auto-deleted, use EazyAutodelete.
After installation, type/setupin the channel you want to delete messages and select theEazyAutodeleteoption.
The bot will reply with a message in which you can select the delete mode and type of messages to delete. You have three delete modes to choose from.
You can also customize the type of message that has to be auto-deleted.
For example, you can set it to auto-delete messages from bots and include images or links. Messages that do not match the filter or criteria will not be deleted.
Once you have customized the bot and set up filters, close and open the Discord channel. It will delete messages automatically according to the applied settings.
For a simpler auto-delete feature where you want to delete messages after a specific time, tryAuto-Delete Beta bot.

What About Deleting All the Messages on the Channel
Again, because of Discord’s API limitations, bots cannot delete all the messages on your channel. But we found a workaround that makes it easy.
Open your Discord server and right-click on the channel you want to delete messages from.
Select theDuplicate channeloption and create a new channel. This channel will have the same name, members, and permissions, but not the messages.
Now delete the old channel using the same right-click menu. You know what you just did, right? You have another channel with everything similar to the original channel but without all the messages.
However, remember that doing so will change the channel’s link.
There are Discord bots that use the same trick to delete messages. They duplicate the channel and delete the original. We recommend doing it manually instead of installing another bot.
