How to change the “frequently used” emojis in Discord

discord

I am a new Discord user. I am using the Windows 10 client. It has helpfully populated some "frequently used" emojis for me and shows them to me every time I want to use an emoji. These are without exceptions emojis I would not use and in some cases would rather not see (poop, rude faces etc.)

I have tried just patiently using the emojis I like to use. It's been a few weeks and none have moved into the "Frequent" zone. I have tried right-clicking on some (hoping there might be "remove from this list") but nothing happens. I cannot find any settings related to this.

Can this be done?

Discord is chrome-powered. Hit control/cmd + shift + i to open up the chrome debugger tools. Hit Application tab. At the side, find the Storage column, open up Local Storage, and click on the discord url. These are all the stuff that Discord saves (including your password token - do not share pls thx). There is a key named EmojiStore if you clear the stuff to the right and reload discord with ctrl/cmd+r, it will be cleared. Otherwise, if you know how to manipulate JSON data types, you can litterally remove :frogface: from the history.

For the JSON, it'll look something like this:

{"100":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"eggplant":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"fork_and_knife":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"yum":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},}

So to remove "eggplant", for example, you'll want to delete the text starting from "eggplant" to the curly brace and comma that comes after "score".

{"100":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"eggplant":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"fork_and_knife":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50},"yum":{"totalUses":1,"recentUses":[1514823987052],"frecency":50,"score":50}}
