Hey Can we delete private messages? I can archive private message but cannot delete it.. May be I miss something..

From what I understand, you cannot technically entirely delete a topic. Only admin can delete PMs, yet they are still recoverable (I guess there’s just a flag in database). Also, it would be incorrect to delete a PM thread if the other side does not want it deleted. That’s probably why the only opt…

But then how the Admin can delete private messages? I would like to delete just welcome messages sent by the Discobot. Is that possible?

I understand what do you mean, but can I do that for all topics?

Doing that for many topics requires a lot of patience, or some fiddling around in the Rails console. Given that you recently imported , I’d recommend that you disable these messages and re-import instead, just as @pfaffman recommended here :slight_smile:

As an admin, you can mark topics as deleted by hitting the trashcan below the first post, hidden behind the … button:
