Question

When I delete a message in a DM, does it delete it for both parties? Or can the other person still see all the messages unless they delete it too?

Community Answer

Yes, it deletes it for them too. I tested this with pictures so it should work the same with text.

Question

Will they know that it was me that deleted a message on Discord?

Community Answer

No, they won't. My friend deleted a message and it didn't tell me anything was deleted, the message just disappeared.

Question

How do I delete images?

Tim Newman

Community Answer

In exactly the same way as messages, except pressing on the image itself does not work and you will have to long-press slightly above the image.

Question

How do I delete a link sent on mobile? It's possible to edit/delete normal messages, but not links.

Community Answer

Links are the same as messages; you just need to click above the link so you don't open it. They delete exactly the same.

Question

How can I delete all messages in a chat server on Discord?

Community Answer

The best way to delete all the messages is to duplicate the chat room and delete the original. It won't be the same chat room, though, so if you have any chat-specific bot commands running, you might have to set them up again for the new room.
