Tool deletes all your messages from chat/channel/conversation on Telegram.
Project description
TgEraser
TgEraser is a Python tool that allows you to delete all your messages from a chat, channel, or conversation on Telegram without requiring admin privileges. Official Telegram clients do not provide a one-click solution to delete all your messages; instead, you have to manually select and delete messages, with a limit of 100 messages per batch. TgEraser solves this problem and offers a convenient way to mass-delete your messages on Telegram.
Installation
pip install tgeraser
tgeraser
To use TgEraser, you'll need to provide your API credentials, which you can obtain from here.
There are two methods to define api_id
and api_hash
:
- Set them as environment variables (
TG_API_ID
andTG_API_HASH
). - Allow the tool to prompt you for input during execution, with an option to save the credentials in a
credentials.json
file located in the same directory as the sessions (by default,~/.tgeraser/
).
Usage
Tool deletes all your messages from chat/channel/conversation on Telegram.
Usage:
tgeraser [(session <session_name>) --entity-type TYPE -l NUM [-d PATH] -p PEER_ID] | [-k]
tgeraser session <session_name> -p PEER_ID -t STRING
tgeraser session <session_name> -w [--entity-type TYPE]
tgeraser -h | --help
tgeraser --version
Options:
-d --directory PATH Specify a directory where your sessions are stored. [default: ~/.tgeraser/]
-w --wipe-everything Delete all messages from all entities of a certain type that you have in your dialog list.
--entity-type TYPE Available types: any, chat, channel, user. [default: chat]
-p --peers PEER_ID Specify certain peers by comma (chat/channel/user).
-l --limit NUM Show a specified number of recent chats.
-t --time-period STRING Specify a period for an infinite loop to run messages deletion every X seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks.
Example: --time-period "3*days" OR --time-period "5*seconds"
-k --kill Terminate existing background TgEraser processes (only for Unix-like OS).
-h --help Show this screen.

Executing the tool without options will guide you through the creation of your first user session. You can create sessions for multiple users using the tgeraser session <new_session_name>
command.
