How to prune users from a Discord server

Running a Discord server has many upsides, such as having a place for like-minded people to get together and chat. As a server grows, it can accumulate a lot of members, creating bloat. In these situations, the prune feature helps reduce the member count without needing to kick each person individually. Essentially, pruning removes inactive users for a certain period (as few as seven or as many as 30 days) with the click of a few buttons.

To learn how to remove inactive users from a Discord server using the prune feature, follow the instructions below.
