+        Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate

+        You must have Manage Messages permission to delete messages that aren't

+
+        Parameters
+        -----------
+        channel : :class:`Channel`
+            The channel to purge from.
+        limit : int
+            The number of messages to search through. This is not the number
+            of messages that will be deleted, though it can be.
+        check : predicate
+            The function used to check if a function should be deleted.
+            It must take a :class:`Message` as its sole parameter.
