Purge Messages

Clean up quickly. Restore clarity. Move forward.

Purge Messages gives moderators a fast, controlled way to remove multiple messages from a channel at once. It’s ideal for cleaning up spam, off-topic floods, or moments where a conversation derails and needs a reset — without deleting the entire channel or escalating unnecessarily.

This is a manual cleanup tool — you decide when and where it’s used.

Important:

• Purged messages are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered

• Use carefully — especially in active conversations

• Only moderators with permission can run this command

• Mochi respects channel and role permissions at all times
