    I feel like you should be able to delete the whole conversation (a la instagram, instead of just deleting certain messages). Don't know why that's not a thing, seems pretty basic :/

    Please add this feature Discord, its not only a privacy issue, but it can make others like myself feel better when we go to sleep at night. This needs to get added

    I don’t understNd why a message cannot be deleted?  Isn’t that a basic function? I mean, really basic?.

    I can't really understand why they haven't added this feature yet.. Is it that complex? I am not an expert but It doesn't sound that complex to me. If the messages are tracked somewhere I would guess that you can add locally a blacklist file that points to the message. Of course i may be wrong, but yea I think that it is a must feature.

    Edit: So i just found out that if you press right click on a message you can copy its ID so indeed the messages are tracked of course.

    It's been a year I know, but discord will you please add this as a feature? Even though I have scan messages on and stuff, someone might send me something that doesn't exactly disturb me, but might make me uncomfortable if I look back on it, on accident or on purpose.

    Please let us delete others people’s messages, in DM! I have a few things sent by other people, that makes me uncomfortable. But the messages are not able to be reported because they don’t fall under the guidelines

    Discord should've had this feature from the start.

    There are many good aspects to being able to delete a full DM actually the little 'x' that can hide the dm should also erase the message history everytime it's clicked. This would help those of us who have gotten scary or random messages from people.

    actually there is a way to almost achieve this, just send this message in that chat a few times:

    if u send it like a few times the only way to see that message again is to scroll up for a while

    We don't need any of the damn updates like the new logo. JUST GET THIS DONE!

    I agree. No one cares about color or logo changes. Add some features that people actually need.

    This is actually a health issue and could be a legal liability for Discord - flashing images can trigger seizures in some people.  If Discord is smart, they will implement this BEFORE someone has a seizure, falls, hits their head, and is permanently injured...and then sues the heck out of Discord.

    The lack of this feature is just so stupid. If not a delete on both ends, at least a button or something ffs.

    This should be an option! Why hasn’t it been added yet? Clearly people want it and other social media sites have this option.
