DiscordJS error while deleting array of messages

Question

My code:

const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
    const amount = args[0]
    if (!amount) return message.reply('Must specify an amount to delete!');
    message.channel.fetchMessages({
        limit: amount,
    }).then((messages) => {
        message.delete(messages).catch(error => console.log(error.stack));
    });
    message.delete().catch(O_o => { });
}

module.exports.help = {
    name: "clear"
}

Problem: I'm running the bot on my account and trying to make it delete messages on a command execution. Errors: DiscordAPIError: Unknown Message at item.request.gen.end (C:\Users\brian\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\rest\RequestHandlers\Sequential.js:79:15) at then (C:\Users\brian\node_modules\snekfetch\src\index.js:215:21) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

The problem is that message.delete expects a number for timeout and not the array of messages

Read documentation

You might want to do something like

.then((messages) => {
        Promise.all(messages.map(msg => msg.delete()))
        .then(() => message.delete()) //delete original message after others are cleared
        .catch(error => console.log(error.stack));
    });
