I wonder if I can search and mass remove PMs from their title or something else? I was enabled ‘First solution accepted’ on Automation and I thought it would be sent only once but it is sent in every solution (and/or repeatedly). Thanks :slight_smile:

This should be possible using the UI, just in case that’s a preferred way. If you use the search filter in:all-pms, along with the title or keywords from your automated message, that should bring them up in the search results. You can then apply the bulk actions and delete them from the results page.

You can use bulk actions in your inbox if that is what you mean? [Screenshot 2024-04-09 at 5.17.05 PM] can probably also do via rails console.

Hey, thanks for your fast reply! I’m asking about to delete PMs on every user, bulk option should works this way?

[תמונה] satonotdead: delete PMs on every user Oof. That seems extreme. What happened?

What I previouly stated: [תמונה] satonotdead: I was enabled ‘First solution accepted’ on Automation and I thought it would be sent only once but it is sent in every solution (and/or repeatedly). We was on open-beta so that’s not really bad but I truly need to remove ton of PMs :slight_smile:

Ah. I misread it as every PM rather than a bunch of PMs that fit a pattern. Do you have access to the server to run something using the Rails console? That or the API would probably work best.

There should be adult hints in Administrative Bulk Operations. If you can find an example with the PostDestroyer and one that selects topics by matching the title, I think. That’s assuming you’re self hosted and can get to rails.

I can get into Rails, for sure! Any hint or example to begin starting with? Thanks!

Search for PostDestroyer and find something like How to bulk delete old whispers - #2 by tshenry

Is that OK for you folks? Could it be improved? Topic.where("archetype = 'private_message' AND title ILIKE ?", "%something%").find_each do |t| PostDestroyer.new(Discourse.system_user, t.ordered_posts.first).destroy puts "Destroyed PM: #{t.id} - #{t.title}" end
