Can I use this tool to delete messages from a bot I own?

[roughnecks]

I've got a bot which posts images in my super group and I'm not able to delete all of its stuff, so maybe I can use this tool? If yes, please explain how.

Thanks

I too would like to do this.

If I change the following line to include bot (as modified below), I can produce a list of groups to delete that shows the bot group: groups = [c for c in chats if c.type in ('group', 'bot')]

To print the correct name I change the following to group.username

        for i, group in enumerate(groups):
            print(f'  {i+1}. {group.username}')

The trouble is I don't know how to then delete all messages within that bot group - it just returns 0 messages detected.

I'll post more details tomorrow along with links to the lines of code I've modified for testing.

Ok, I've got this working with the following detailed code changes. I do however have an issue where it won't delete more than 100 messages even when changing the search_limit and delete_chunk_size.
