How to Clear Discord Messages on Windows
You can delete the Discord messages on your Windows PC using the auto hot key. These hot key scripts make the process much easier. An example of programming the F1 key is given below. Using this step, you can program any key you want.
F1:: Toggle := !Toggle loop { if not Toggle break if WinExist(“ahk_exe discord.exe”) WinActivate SendInput {Up} Sleep 100 SendInput {Up} Sleep 100 SendInput ^a Sleep 100 SendInput {Backspace} Sleep 100 SendInput {Enter} Sleep 100 SendInput {Enter} Sleep 100 SendInput {WheelUp} Sleep 200 } return end:: { msgbox, ended exitapp }
After programming, the F1 key serves as the toggle to enable or disable the message deletion. If you feel this script is behaving strangely, try to increase the value by 50. (e.g., Sleep 150)
