Auto Purge
Automatically purge messages in a channel on an interval to keep channels empty.
Introduction
Auto Purge automatically removes all messages in selected channels after a fixed amount of time.
It’s perfect for channels that should regularly reset themselves, such as:
- Bot command channels
- Support queues
- Temporary chat channels
- Media‑only or spam‑heavy channels
Unlike Auto Delete Messages, Auto Purge does not filter messages based on length or attachments — it simply deletes every message after the configured interval.
How It Works
You select a channel and choose how often it should be cleared. Once the time has passed, the bot will purge the channel.
Example
- Interval: 1h
→ Every hour al messages are deleted. - Interval: 10m
→ Clean flush of all messages every 10 minutes. - Interval: 24h
→ Channel resets daily.
Time Format
The interval accepts short, simple time formats:
| Format | Meaning |
|---|---|
10s | 10 seconds |
5m | 5 minutes |
1h | 1 hour |
24h | 24 hours |
You can only use a single value (e.g., 1h), not combinations like 1h 30m.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bot delete pinned messages?
Yes. All messages are deleted.
Does the bot delete its own messages?
Yes. All messages are deleted.
Does Auto Purge affect threads?
No. It only removes messages in the main channel.
Will this log deletions?
No, it will log that a set number of messages have been deleted, but QuaBot cannot show the contents of each message (as if deleting a single one).
What happens if I change the interval?
The bot immediately adjusts and applies the new purge cycle.
