Is it possible to mass delete all private messages for all users via vbulletin or can someone come up with SQL script that does that?

*bump* - anyone? Some of my users have too many messages and are complaining that they are unable to send more... and it also takes time to select everything on all pages and then doing the same thing the messages in the trash folder...
Help will be very appreciated. -
Do you "really" want to do this? If you do, there may be other things to consider like just deleting from a certain date and back or by userid for the people that have the issue of too many PMs. I know I have PM's on my system that I keep indefinitely for certain reasons. There are a couple queries that will do what you're asking, but I won't publish them here since someone else may inadvertently execute the queries not fully understanding the permanence of the action. PM me, and I'll help you out with this.

Hello,
I have a quite similar request with a more restricted scope ... if I can say so.
I would like to remove all the "sent" private message I have in my inbox ... it represents something like ... 66280 messages !!!
I've never deleted them since 2005.
Is there a sql query permitting to do this?
Thanks for help because I can't send anymore PM (I've highered the number of allowed PMs for Administrator since years but it is not the good solution)Comment

I am also looking for the sql query needed for me to mass delete my sent items. Can someone help me out with this?SignatureComment

There is no direct query or script that can do this for all users at this time. You can delete from individual users by using the Quick Links on their account profile in the AdminCP.

I would also like to see some help with this feature.
It would be even better if the whole PM handling for admins could provide features like "admin send mails to all users" etc.Comment

There is currently no way to delete all Private Messages across a site.
You can delete private messages on a user by user basis with the "Quick Tools" drop down found in the User Editor in the AdminCP. Users -> Search for Users. Find your user then use the Quick Tools dropdown.Translations provided by Google.

I have a user who has somehow exceeded the specified limit for stored PMs, and cannot seem to delete them himself. I have used the "Delete All User's Private Messages"...-
