Prunegram is a Telegram cleaner tool that helps you declutter your account. It scans your chats, identifies inactive groups, dead bots, muted conversations, and scam channels — then lets you remove them in bulk.

How does Prunegram clean my Telegram?

Prunegram connects through Telegram's official API to scan your chat list. It categorizes chats by activity, type, and health — then gives you smart recommendations on what to clean. You choose what to keep and what to remove.

Is Prunegram safe to use?

Yes. Prunegram uses Telegram's official API and never stores your messages or contacts. Your data stays on your device. We don't have access to your chat content — only metadata like chat names and activity dates.

Can I delete multiple Telegram chats at once?

Yes — that's one of Prunegram's main features. After scanning, you can select multiple chats across categories and leave or delete them all at once, instead of doing it one by one.

Does Prunegram work on desktop?

Prunegram runs as a Telegram Mini App, so it works on any device where you use Telegram — including phones, tablets, and desktop. Just open it from the @prunegrambot in Telegram.

Scanning is free and unlimited. To perform bulk cleanup actions (mass leave groups, delete chats), you can get a 72-hour pass or lifetime unlimited access. The first 500 users get a special launch price.

How to Clean Up Your Telegram Chats

Updated February 2026

If your Telegram chat list has become unmanageable — full of dead groups, forgotten bots, and conversations you haven't touched in months — you're not alone. Telegram makes it easy to join groups and channels, but cleaning them up is another story. Here's how to take back control.

Why Clean Up Your Telegram?

A cluttered Telegram account isn't just annoying — it actively makes the app harder to use. Too many chats means important messages get buried, notifications become noise, and your storage fills up with media from groups you forgot you joined.

Hundreds of notification badges from groups you never read
Storage eaten up by media from inactive chats
Important messages lost in a sea of dead conversations
Slower app performance on older devices

How to Clean Telegram Chats Manually

Telegram has built-in tools for basic cleanup, though they require going chat by chat:

Delete Individual Chats

Open your chat list in Telegram
Long-press (mobile) or right-click (desktop) on a chat
Select "Delete Chat" or "Leave Group"
Confirm the action

Delete Multiple Chats at Once

On mobile, you can select multiple chats: tap "Edit" in the chat list, then check the chats you want to remove and tap "Delete." On Telegram Desktop, hold Ctrl/Cmd and click to select multiple chats, then right-click to delete.

Clear Cache

To free up storage without deleting chats, go to Settings → Data and Storage → Storage Usage. From there you can clear cached files by type (photos, videos, files) or by individual chat.

How to Bulk Delete Telegram Chats

The manual approach works for a few chats, but what if you have hundreds of inactive groups? Telegram's built-in tools don't offer smart filtering — you can't easily find all chats that have been inactive for 30+ days, or identify groups where you've never posted.

This is where dedicated Telegram cleaner tools come in. They scan your entire chat list, categorize chats by activity and type, and let you clean up in bulk based on smart filters rather than scrolling through your entire chat list.

Using Prunegram for Automatic Cleanup

Prunegram is a Telegram Mini App that automates the entire cleanup process:

Smart Scan — identifies inactive groups, dead bots, muted chats, scam channels, and deleted accounts
Bulk Actions — leave or delete dozens of chats at once
Folder Analysis — see which folders have the most clutter
Relationship Tracking — never ghost important contacts
AI Tags — auto-organize contacts from events and conferences
Privacy First — runs through Telegram's official API, your data never leaves your device

Tips for Keeping Telegram Organized

Once you've cleaned up, here's how to keep it that way:

Use Telegram Folders — create folders for Work, Friends, News, etc. to keep your main chat list focused
Mute aggressively — if you don't need notifications from a group, mute it immediately
Monthly cleanup habit — spend 5 minutes each month reviewing and leaving groups you no longer need
Set auto-delete timers — Telegram lets you set messages to auto-delete after 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month in any chat
Be selective about joining — before joining a new group or channel, ask yourself if you'll actually read it
