Skipping specific channels

It is possible to skip message deletion for certain channels (such as DMs with close friends):

• The -s or --skip parameter needs to be passed for every channel to be skipped.

Let's say that the user wants to skip deletion for the following:

• A guild with ID 777813370090815590

• A channel in another guild with ID 796286628817272843

• A direct message channel with ID 805364751726280745

The command for skipping these would look something like this:

• ./discord-delete -s 777813370090815590 -s 796286628817272843 -s 805364751726280745

• If a guild has already been skipped, there is no need to skip individual channels from that guild.

Obtaining IDs

"Developer Mode" must be enabled in Settings -> App Settings -> Appearance:

Guilds:

• Right-click on the guild icon and click on "Copy ID".

Channels:

• Same as guilds but right-click on the channel name instead.

DM channels:

• Open the Discord webapp and navigate to the user whose message history you want to keep (In Direct Messages).

• The channel ID is contained in the URL after channels/@me/, in this case it is 733702648674517054
