The easiest way is to use rails command line, ssh into your server and then

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
Post.where("user_id > 0").where(post_number: 1).find_each do |post| 
  PostDestroyer.new(Discourse.system_user, post).destroy
  putc "."
end

```

**⚠ be sure to make a backup before running this destructive code.**
