This snippet will delete all messages sent by a user in a specific channel when they leave. To set this snippet up just provide in the envirnment variable the channel you want to delete messages in.

const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

let channel_id = process.env.DELETE_MESSAGES_CHANNEL;

//Lists 100 messages in the channel
let messages = await lib.discord.channels['@0.3.2'].messages.list({
  channel_id,
  limit: 100,
});

//Empty array to hold all of the message IDs to delete
let list = [];

//Creates a for loop that checks if a message in the message list was made by the user who left
for (let i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
  if (messages[i].author.id == context.params.event.user.id) {
    //If the message was made by the user it will add the message ID to the list array
    list.push(messages[i].id);
  }
}
//Checks if the list is empty still
if (list.length == 0) {
  //If it is it will return a message to the logs telling you that
  console.log(`User has no messages`);

  //Checks if the list only has 1 message
} else if (list.length == 1) {
  //Only deletes one message (The minimum amount of messages for messages.bulkDelete is 2)
  await lib.discord.channels['@0.3.2'].messages.destroy({
    message_id: `${list[0]}`,
    channel_id,
  });
  console.log(`User only has 1 message`);

  //If the list has 2 or more messages it will delete all of the messages in the list
} else {
  //Uses the bulkDelete API to delete all of the messages
  await lib.discord.channels['@0.3.2'].messages.bulkDelete({
    channel_id,
    messages: list,
  });
