Hey BlamesMeNow!

That’s a super interesting question! Once a Discord message is deleted, it’s generally gone for good, especially if it’s purged from Discord’s servers. Discord doesn’t provide a built-in way for users to retrieve deleted messages to ensure privacy.

However, there are a few potential loopholes:

Server Logs: Some servers use logging bots that record message activity. If the server you’re interested in uses one, there might be a record there.

Other Users: If someone else saw the message or quoted it, they might have a record or screenshot.

Third-Party Apps: There are apps like Haqerra that could potentially help. Although it’s mainly designed for monitoring other types of messaging apps, it’s worth checking if it has features that could extend to Discord, such as capturing notifications or screen recordings, which might indirectly help recover some context.

Just remember, always respect privacy and follow Discord’s terms of service!
