Delete or archive LinkedIn messages in bulk

This script was made because currently LinkedIn is not providing a bulk message deletion or archiving option.

Requirements:

• Nodejs version > 10.16
• Google Chrome
• To be logged into your LinkedIn account on the Google Chrome browser
• 3 minutes to set the script up

Before running the script:

In order to run the script, you will need to replace the values of 2 constants located in the inquirer.js file.

Namely: CHROME_EXECUTABLE_PATH and USER_DATA_DIR.

To obtain these values you need to perform the following actions:

1. Open Google Chrome, paste the following in the address bar, and hit enter

   chrome://version

2. Copy the following information:

   Executable Path into the CHROME_EXECUTABLE_PATH constant.

   Profile Path into the USER_DATA_DIR constant.

Running the script (administrative privileges required):

To run the script with administrative privileges - simply navigate into the cloned folder and run the following commands:

1. npm install - this command needs to be executed only once (on the 1st run).

2. npm run start

• Administrative privileges are necessary for the cache copying procedure.

That's it!

Sit back, relax and let the script handle the messages for you.

There is a 2 seconds delay between the message deletions - you can change, or remove it but with this delay, you can be sure that the LinkedIn server handled correctly all of your requests.
