XF 2.3 Delete remaining DMs after batch deleting users

[Mr Lucky]

I have batch deleted some users who have never posted or logged in since registration wars ago. It just occurred to me I don''t think this deleted their DMs.

I don't think this is a problem but in the interest of keeping a tidy database I wonder if anyone knows how I could delete any DMs left over from the user deletion.

If so please could you share how I might do this, thanks!

Conversations are automatically deleted once all participants have left.

Gotcha , so there is no way to delete the messages apart from the recipient leaving as if it was a still active user? That's pity.

All my conversations were still there after deleting members - I used Andy’s addon to remove all conversations older than a year. It was quick and simple to use. I also asked to edit it to delete newer conversations than a year as well. Which was possible.

However I don’t think it differentiates for only certain users. But it could be worth asking if that is possible.

I have that and I might use it anyway for very old DMs but need to alert users first and give them plenty of notice to archive anything they need.
