Purge Messages

NPM Version

The Purge Messages module allows moderators to quickly delete multiple messages from a channel using a single command.

Needed Permissions

• Read Message History
• Admin/Mod role recommended

Ensure you have completed the setup steps in the Getting Started guide.

Usage

To enable purge functionality, include the library and call it:

const { discordPurge } = require('./node_modules/bb-dbotbits/discordPurge');

discordPurge();

Command Example

!purge 10

This will delete the last 10 messages in the channel (excluding pinned/system messages).

Notes

• Always ensure the bot’s role is above the members it needs to moderate.
