Hi @praveen3164, the functionality to delete messages is rather limited in Telegram’s Bot API (which is what n8n’s Telegram node uses) I am afraid. You can check out the details here:

Clear Chat History in Telegram

Hi @ruby09, unfortunately not. n8n’s Telegram node uses the Telegram Bot API which is rather limited when it comes to deletions. The biggest limitation would be that you have to delete each message individually (there is no “delete everything” option). You can check out the full details here in Telegram’s API documentation.

So it’s expected to only be able to delete recent messages meeting the criteria outlined in Telegram’s documentation.
