Prune Messages from a Discussion

If you are a server admin, or your admin has given you the clean-discussion-history permission, the prune messages option allows you to delete messages from a discussion swiftly.

{% hint style="info" %} Pruned messages and files are deleted forever and cannot be recovered. You are advised to use this feature with extra caution. {% endhint %}

To prune selected messages, fill in these fields:

• Newer than: Deletes all messages posted after a particular date.
• Older than: Deletes all messages posted before a particular date.
• Users: Allows you to specify which user's message to delete. Add a username, and the user's messages are deleted.
• Inclusive: Deletes all messages that were sent at the specified start and end times you have specified in the Newer than and Older than fields.
• Exclude pinned messages: Do not delete pinned messages.
• Only remove the attached files, keep messages: Delete files but not the messages.
