Delete LinkedIn messages automatically in one go.

LinkedIn-auto-delete-script.js

Hello everyone!

Some time ago, I was attempting to tidy up my LinkedIn account by removing unnecessary clutter.
I decided to begin by deleting all of the old messages, followed by the notifications. However,
I soon discovered that I had to manually click and delete each notification individually,
as there was no option to select and delete them in bulk. This process was quite surprising and time-consuming.

To address this issue, I created a script that automates the deletion process for you.
The script is designed to be executed in the console panel of your web browser and is written in plain JavaScript.
Its purpose is to delete old notifications, messages, and archives,
making the clean-up process much more efficient.


### Updated code 4 June 2023, works for below pages.

1 - https://www.linkedin.com/notifications/
2 - https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/thread/new/

```javascript
setInterval(() => document.querySelectorAll('[type="trash"]').forEach((x) => x.click()), 3000);
```

    [...document.querySelectorAll(".nt-card-settings-dropdown__trigger-icon .mercado-match")].map(
        function (x) {
            x.click();
            setTimeout(function () {
                [...document.querySelectorAll('[type="trash-icon"]')].map(a => a.click());
            }, 1000);
        })
}, 3000);
