Delete Certain Message Bot Sends

Have a scramble game that I want to delete the original message if it was solved or not solved. Tried client.delete_message(nameofmsghere) but it's not deleting it. if message.cont

Solution 1:

You're attempting to delete a string, which you also used to create the message. It has no relation to the actual discord.Message object that was sent. You need to capture that object, which is the return value of send_message

text = "The word scramble is: `{}`! You have 10 seconds to solve...".format(scrambled)
scramblemsg  = await client.send_message(message.channel, text)
...
await client.delete_message(scramblemsg)

Solution 2:

Does your bot have permissions to delete messages on the server that you are using?

You can enable it in the server settings by adding the Manage Messages permission.
