Hi, I want to delete all PMs in the database. There are almost as many PMs as posts and many appear to be spam. I have advised members to save any PMs that they want to keep. What is the best way to delete all PMs? I would assume using Myphp admin and drop the table but how exactly should I do this?
Truncate mybb_privatemessages table
Thanks, ok Ive found the line mybb_privatemessages in php MyAdmin

Do I click on the EMPTY or DROP icon??
Empty. Drop will delete the entire table and bring up errors where as empty just empty's the table Smile
Thanks PB541 thats what I was thinking Smile
PMs were deleted successfully but members are reporting

Of course, there's nothing in my inbox...

How do I reset the counts back to zero?
