A snippet for bulk deleting messages in a channel or messages by a specific user in a channel! It's only usable by members with the "MANAGE_MESSAGES" permission in your server. To set this command up you need to go to the slash command builder (https://autocode.com/tools/discord/command-builder/), link your bot and create a slash command named "purge" with two options, 1st option should be number type and is the number of messages to clear, and the second option should be user type (make the second option optional). Then save and enjoy!

channel_id: context.params.event.channel_id,

});
return;
}
