**Self-botting is explicitly forbidden by the Discord Trust & Safety Team and can result in an account termination if found**. Therefore, it's not unlikely that **using this script may incur a ban on your account.** Discord's explicit condemnation of self-botting can be found [here](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002192352-Automated-user-accounts-self-bots-).
# About
`purge_discord.py` is a Discord self-botting Python script that allows the user to programmatically mass-delete all of the messages that they sent in a given Discord channel, including servers, DMs, & group chats via the Discord User API. It is primarily designed to be ran from a command-line, with the URL or ID of a channel being passed to the script as arguments.
`purge_discord.py` is a Discord self-botting Python script that allows the user to programmatically mass-delete all of the messages that they sent in a given Discord channel, including servers, DMs, & group chats via the Discord User API. It is primarily designed to be ran from a command-line, with the URL ~~or ID~~ of a channel being passed to the script as arguments.
The purpose of the script is to enhance the user's control over their private information on Discord. Discord is not a social media platform with strong privacy practices, and I firmly believe that an individual should have the right to remove their data from any given platform quickly & easily at will. At present, there is no way to delete all of your messages from Discord. Not even deleting your account will remove your messages from the platform, and they will still be visible permanently. Deleting your account is in this sense worse for your privacy, as you lose control over your messages; Once you delete your account, you will permanently lose the ability to delete any of your messages, meaning that any information you revealed in those messages is now permanently public information.
