Hi, I want to delete all the PM's on the forum I run (7.5.7.)

I stop with the forum and somebody is taking over.
But for the privacy reasons of all members I think it is better before to hand over the forum to delete the privat messages?
How can I?

Untested but there are three tables in the mysql database.
they all start with PRIVATE_MESSAGE_
make a backup and clear the three tables of data.
Poof should be gone for everyone.

You may need to run the content re builder in the cp and elect:
Prune Orphaned Private Topics

On the tables:
