That won't do them all at once. 😛

"totally purge"

To me that means all at once, otherwise doing them one at a time would fit the bill! 😛

yeh, i meant totally, as in get rid of them all at once - when you've hit 1000 msgs and just want to delete them all instead of deleting them page by page.

this is not an answer for a total removal of all PMs if you are asking me to "select all" and then "delete".

The answer you seek is under "Export Private Messages". Check the export all box and also check the Delete Private Messages after export box.

Once you click the export button it generates an html page with them all. You need to save that page to disk somewhere.
