After some time, I would like to clear out all the private messages for all users on the board.

Is there a way to clear all the private messages for all accounts within the Admin CP? I am wondering if I just missed it somewhere. I have also not found a plugin that would allow this either.

Thanks!

you can try using Prune old PMs + DB Optimize plugin [related thread]

I will give that a shot, but I was hoping for more of a manual solution that I can control within the adminCP when needed.

Thanks.

You can drop all PMs at one go with access to a DB management tool, such as PHPMyAdmin.

Simply run SQL:
TRUNCATE TABLE mybb_privatemessages

This SQL could be put into a script for a scheduled task managed by the ACP.
