Twitter is one of the social media platforms where you can share thoughts and opinions with people worldwide. It also allows you to communicate with others privately using the feature called Direct message, popularly known as DM. These messages will not be shown in the public timeline, and you can also delete them at any time to clean your inbox. But Twitter does not offer the facility to delete the bulk of Twitter direct messages. So, you need to delete the messages manually one by one. When you delete, Twitter will remove messages from your inbox only.
