PS This program is designed with several safeguards in place to minimize the risk of violating Discord's TOS:

1. The program can only be used on an account you specifically own.
2. The program can only delete messages sent by your account, meaning it won't affect and cannot delete other users' messages.

These safeguards are intended to ensure that the program is used responsibly and with the understanding that its primary purpose is educational.

   The messages limit is only an option in case you only wanna delete a specific amount of messages. If you don't wanna have a limit only enter your username, token, channel ID and message ID.

2. Once you run the program and agree to delete messages. All messages that were sent before the specified message ID will be deleted, starting with the message ID you entered.
3. The program was designed to avoid deleting messages accidentally. Hence why you have the option to set a limit.
4. If you stop the program and wish to continue deleting messages later in the same server channel or DM. You need to update the message ID again since the original message ID you entered won't exist anymore.
