# Delete a Telegram message

Automatically delete a Telegram message on web.telegram.org. Delete one message from a Telegram conversation, by the conversation's peer id and the message id, and confirm with Telegram that this one message is gone. Deleting cannot be undone and, in a shared conversation, other people can see it: get the user's confirmation first, and show them the chatTitle this returns. Pass scope "everyone" to remove it for all participants, which Telegram offers only on this account's own recent messages. Refuses a message that does not exist.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/web.telegram.org/delete_message`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/web.telegram.org/delete_message
```

## Input

- `peerId` (string, required): The conversation, as web.telegram.org/get_inbox returns it.
- `messageId` (string, required): The message to delete, as get_conversation, search_messages or send_message return it. It must be among the most recent messages of the conversation.
- `scope` (string, optional): "me" removes it for this account only. "everyone" removes it for all participants, which Telegram offers only on this account's own recent messages; the run fails rather than fall back to "me".

## Output

- `scope` (string, required)
- `peerId` (string, required)
- `deleted` (boolean, required): True once Telegram reports the message as deleted.
- `messageId` (string, required)
- `account_used` (string | null, required): The name of the account that deleted it.
- `accountId` (string, optional)
- `chatTitle` (string | null, optional): The conversation's name: show it to the user.
