Hey @buffy, thanks for your post and sorry to hear the archive didn’t collect your posts. Just checking, has the archive worked for you in the past?

Regarding the missed messages - the data import feature might work - [blog link here](https://redact.dev/blog/how-to-delete-discord-messages-in-bulk#import-data).

Honestly though, the issues your describing might be easier for us to diagnose if we can take a look at your client’s logs (no sensitive information in there - mostly just successes, failures, volumes, errors). Reach out via [discord or email if possible](https://redact.dev/contact)!
