How to make a discord.py bot delete its message?

Question

Python

I want the bot to delete my message

await ctx.channel.send(f':white_check_mark: Удалено {amount} сообщений')
    
    await sleep(3)
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=1 )

but another user can get ahead of those 3 sec. What's the other way to delete your post?

Answer 1

Everything is very simple:

await ctx.channel.send(f':white_check_mark: Удалено {amount} сообщений', delete_after = 3)

Well, or one more variant:

msg = await ctx.channel.send(f':white_check_mark: Удалено {amount} сообщений')
await sleep(3)
await msg.delete()
