Delete all PMs and Adminlog

Your database Run SQL query/queries on database

UPDATE `user` SET `pmtotal` = '0',`pmunread` = '0';
TRUNCATE TABLE `pm`;
TRUNCATE TABLE `pmtext`;
TRUNCATE TABLE `pmreceipt`;
TRUNCATE TABLE `adminlog`;

This action can not be un-done. :)

That's in user table. Don't empty your user table though.

Go into your FTP > /includes/config.php

// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1';

Find // ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******

Add your userid to that as you see there

TRUNCATE TABLE `pm`;
