Bulk-Delete Discord Messages Fast with /purge

Clean a channel in one command. /purge bulk-deletes recent messages with optional filters by member, keyword or bots-only — and logs every purge to your moderation channel.

Deleting messages one by one is the slowest job in moderation, and it's exactly what you're forced into during a spam wave or after a heated thread. /purge turns "delete fifty messages by hand" into a single command — with enough control that you only remove what you mean to.

One command, with filters

Run /purge and CloudMod bulk-deletes recent messages in the channel. You're not limited to "delete the last N" — filter by a specific member to clear one person's mess, by a keyword to remove a spammed link, or bots-only to tidy up command clutter without touching real conversation.

Every purge is logged

A delete tool without a paper trail is a liability. Every /purge is written to your moderation log channel — who ran it, in which channel, how many messages — so there's always a record of what was removed and by whom. Cleanups stay accountable.

Built for the messy moments

The times you reach for purge are rarely calm: a raid, a leaked link, a bot loop. Being able to scope the delete (this member, this keyword) means you stop the mess without nuking the whole channel and losing the good conversation around it.

Getting started

Enable Bulk Purge, make sure CloudMod has Manage Messages and Read Message History, and set your moderation log channel so purges are recorded. Try /purge with a small count first to get a feel for the filters before you need it in a hurry.
