How to delete message discord py

How can I delete entire messages in a text channel in Discord with discord python library

I used a code from a asked question in stack overflow but the functions used in that seems to be changed.

Code :

Error:

async for x in client(ctx.message.channel, limit = number): TypeError: ‘Bot’ object is not callable

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: ‘Bot’ object is not callable

Trending sort

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Switch to Trending sort

A really easy way to do it in the new versions of discord.py would probably look something like this:

You could also use a regular command for this so you won’t need await client.process_commands(message) but the function you are after will still be await message.channel.purge(limit=amount, check=is_not_pinned) That way only people with the manage messages permission will be able to use this command and it will not deleted pinned messages.

You can set the amount to an incredible high number so it will just delete close to, if not everything. I only tried it for around 300 and it worked perfectly (may take some time though).

If you want to delete a message the bot sent after x amount of time you can use the delete_after kwarg.

Simple delete command you can use. I added an if that checks if amount is more than 0 (because deleting 0 messages doesn’t make sense)
