The Unusability Creep: Telegram's Noise Problem

A critical shortcoming in Telegram's design is its complete lack of bulk chat management tools for cleaning up unwanted conversations. This oversight allows spam and dead chats, such as those from "Deleted Accounts," to accumulate endlessly. For active users, this significantly raises the noise level, clutters the interface, and edges the application towards a state of digital chaos and eventual unusability.

Mass Deleting "Deleted Account" Chats on MacOS: The Hard Truth

Unfortunately, there is **no way to mass delete chats from "Deleted Accounts" on the Telegram for MacOS app**, especially when filtering by whether you've replied or not. The functionality simply does not exist within the application or via any known third-party tools.

This leaves users with only one, painfully inefficient method.

The Manual Deletion Grind

To clear these dead chats from your list, you must delete them individually. This is a tedious, manual process that highlights the platform's failure to provide adequate management features.

Find the Chat: You must manually scroll through your entire chat history to locate a conversation labeled "Deleted Account."
Right-Click to Act: Place your cursor over the chat and right-click to open the context menu.
Select 'Delete': From the menu options, choose "Delete."
Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the final "Delete" button to permanently remove the chat from your list.

You must repeat these four steps for every single "Deleted Account" chat you wish to remove.

Imperfect Alternatives for Future Management

While you cannot fix the existing clutter in bulk, you can take a preemptive step to manage future chats, although the solution is far from perfect.

Auto-Delete Messages: You can set a global timer to automatically delete messages in new chats. This can be set to 24 hours, 7 days, or a custom duration. You can find this setting under Settings > Privacy and Security > Auto-Delete Messages.

Crucially, this does not solve the core problem. This feature only deletes the *messages* within a chat; it does not remove the chat entry itself from your list, leaving the cluttered interface intact.
