Its event.ctx.message.content

slow holly
#

it' well event.message.content, however depending on the type of message maybe it is not one with content

#

if you look at that, it shows if the message can be deleted or not, maybe use it?

#

although it seems really weird that you have a BaseMessage and not a Message object, maybe try to find out where it comes from

#

if you get BaseMessage, the deleted message was most likely not in your cache

#

this is excessively common because of the fact that messages are stored in an expiring dict, and because messages from before the bot can start caching (on bootup) can be deleted
