Hi @Magnuswlange,
sorry for the late response. I've been busy lately.

I'm not sure how and why this intially worked (maybe pyrogram changes again?), but I could confirm the same issue.

Should be fixxed now :)

I appreciate you fixing the issue. I have got another problem now. When I select the group (not all groups show up), it almost instantly closes. I think I got to read some of the text before it closed, like 0 messages found or something. Is there any way you can make it show all groups and fix the 0 messages found and possibly making it stay open after doing the 1st routine?

@Magnuswlange please notice that this will only work for "group" and "supergroup" chats. Not for channels or private.
If you would need these features, I would recommend using this instead: https://github.com/gurland/telegram-delete-all-messages

Sadly I dont have the time to keep this fixxed and updated.
I just published it because it worked for me.

I understand, thank you. The issues I were having with the one you linked, was that it wasn't working for 1 specific group, hence I tried your's. Can't have any of them clear 1 specific channel for me. Thank you anyways.
