I'm trying to make a command for my discord bot that sends embeds in different channels(using the id) and deletes the message that was sent before. I've googled a lot and I still can't find a working solution on how to delete messages in a specific channel using the channel ID. I only need 1 message to be deleted if that's easier but I don't know.
This is my code:
client.channels.cache.get('channelid').messages.fetch().then(message => message.delete())
client.channels.cache.get('channelid').send({ embeds: [FAQEmbed] }); // sends FAQ Embed
I replaced the id with channelid in case of anything. The embed works and it sends, but the message before doesn't get deleted.
Yes your code correct, but if you want to delete the message when bot replied.
use message.channel.id and message.id to return message and channel id
example:
client.channels.cache.get(message.channel.id).messages.fetch(message.id).then(message => message.delete())
hope this help you, but you need to defined the client as well
