Complete guide to Purges module commands and features

🧹 Purges Commands

Admin only:

• /purge: deletes all messages between this and the replied-to message.
• /del: deletes the message you replied to.

Examples:

• Delete all messages from the replied message, until now. -> /purge

Range Deletion with purgefrom/purgeto: When you need more control over the deletion range:

1. Reply to the first message in the range: /purgefrom The bot will confirm the message is marked (expires after 30 seconds).

2. Reply to the last message in the range: /purgeto All messages between the two markers (inclusive) will be deleted.

This is useful when you can’t easily scroll to the starting point or need to verify the range before deletion.

Limits and Restrictions:

• Maximum messages per purge: 1000 messages
• Message age limit: Messages older than 48 hours may not be deletable (Telegram API restriction)
• Permissions required: Both the user and the bot must have “Delete Messages” permission
