How to See Deleted Messages on Discord?
You have to be the admin to see deleted messages on Discord. This gives you all the rights and access to see the log of deleted messages on your server. If you are, then do the following steps to see the deleted messages on Discord:
1. Right-click the server with the deleted message.
2. Go to Server Settings and then to Audit Log.
3. Click Filter by Action and press Delete Messages.
4. You will see the information about the deleted message.
Did you notice? You only see that one message was deleted. You do not see what was in the message. For this, even though Discord doesn’t give us an official way, there are unofficial ways to see deleted messages on Discord.

YAGPDB (Yet Another General Discord Bot)
This is a bot that you download from YAGPDB website and click Add to Server. You have to login to Discord from this bot and find Select Server. You have to connect the bot to the server with the deleted message and assign the bot a role and press Next. Now head to the Discord Server and type -log and you will be shown a link. Go to the link and you’ll be shown deleted messages in a log form.
BetterDiscord
It is an extension, not a bot, that uses plugins to surf Discord better. In this case, you can use it to see deleted messages. You’d have to go to BetterDiscord’s official website and click Download first. Then press ‘Install BetterDiscord’ and click on Next. You have to decide which version of Discord do you want to install. Go for Discord for a normal version. Click on Install to install BetterDiscord and get ready for the next step.
MessageLoggerV2
Now you need to download this plugin called MessageLoggetV2 from here and install it. You need BetterDiscord to use MessageLoggerV2. After you’ve downloaded it, open Discord on your desktop and click on the gear, and head to User Settings. Find ‘BetterDiscord’ and click on Plugins. Now open the folder where you saved MessageLogger. All that is left to do is click on ‘Open Plugins Folder’ and drag and drop MessageLoggerV2 in the plugins folder. Then enable the plugin and restart Discord. Then you right-click the Discord server with the deleted message and press ‘Message Logger’. Then press on Open Logs and find your deleted messages with the date and time of the deleted messages.
