If you decide to return to Discord after deleting your account, you must register a new account using a different email address. It is important to remember that creating a new account will not grant you access to any of the information or data linked to your previous account.

How Can I delete all of my messages?

• Confirm that you want to delete the messages.

Note: Deleted messages cannot be retrieved, so be careful when deleting messages. Additionally, depending on the server’s settings, other members may still be able to view the messages you delete.
