Discord DM Cleaner â Chrome Extension
Last updated: March 9, 2026Discord DM Cleaner is a browser extension that helps you delete your own messages in Discord DM conversations. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how our extension works.
The extension reads your Discord authentication token from your browser's local storage to authenticate API requests. This token is:
The extension reads the current Discord channel ID from the page URL to identify which DM conversation you want to clean.
The extension searches for your messages in the current DM channel using Discord's search API, solely for the purpose of identifying which messages to delete. Message content is never stored or transmitted.
The extension uses Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local) solely to persist the current
operation state (e.g., deletion progress) so that you can close and reopen the popup without losing
progress. This data:
| Permission | Purpose |

using your own authentication token. No other third-party services are contacted.
