Full Channel Cleanup

Use this workflow when you want to clean a single DM or channel as completely as possible.

Recommended process

1. Discover IDs first.
2. Scope the run to one target with --include-ids.
3. Run --dry-run.
4. Execute only after the plan looks correct.

Discover the target

delete-me-discord --list-guilds
delete-me-discord --list-channels

Preview a full wipe

delete-me-discord --include-ids <channel_id> --delete-reactions --preserve-n 0 --preserve-last 0 --dry-run

This means:

• only the selected target is processed
• no recent messages are preserved
• no “last N messages” are preserved
• your reactions are removed where applicable

Execute the wipe

Drop --dry-run once you are satisfied:

delete-me-discord --include-ids <channel_id> --delete-reactions --preserve-n 0 --preserve-last 0

Notes

• --max-messages can be useful if you want to test on a smaller slice first.
• If you want better per-channel timing visibility for a manual run, add --buffer-channel-messages.
• If you only want a rolling cleanup instead of a full wipe, use Rolling Retention.
