A tdl extension for deleting Telegram messages.

Install

tdl extension install wazk9595/tdl-delete

Usage

Delete by message URL

tdl delete --url https://t.me/c/1234567890/42
tdl delete --url https://t.me/c/1234567890/42 --url https://t.me/c/1234567890/43

Delete from tdl chat export JSON

tdl delete --from export.json
tdl delete --from export1.json --from export2.json

Delete by chat + message ID

# Channel or supergroup (numeric ID with -100 prefix)
tdl delete --chat -1001234567890 --id 42,43,44

# By username
tdl delete --chat @mychannel --id 42

Mix inputs

tdl delete --from export.json --url https://t.me/c/1234567890/99

Preview without deleting

Add --dry-run to parse the inputs and show the exact chat and message IDs that would be deleted. No delete request is sent, and the summary explicitly confirms that nothing was deleted.

tdl delete --from export.json --dry-run
tdl delete --chat me --id 73767 --dry-run
