Remove All Messages

When you select the Remove All Messages task, a confirmation dialog pops up. Note that this action removes all messages and attachments for all currently selected channels.

• Include selected channels that are not stopped (channels will be temporarily stopped while messages are being removed)
  • You may only Remove All Messages for channels that are currently stopped. If you select a channel that is not stopped and remove all messages without checking this check box, nothing will happen. When this option is checked, any channels not currently stopped will be stopped prior to removing the messages. After the removal finishes, the channels automatically start back up.
• Clear statistics for affected channel(s)
  • If checked, all channels that have messages removed will also have their current statistics reset to zero. This option is checked by default.

After selecting Yes to continue, you will see the following additional dialog:

This is an additional layer of security to ensure that you do not remove message data accidentally. To proceed, you must type in "REMOVEALL" in all capital letters and select OK. If this additional layer of security is annoying, you can disable it in the Administrator Settings Tab.
