Discord.js - Deleting a specific channel

I'm actually making a discord bot with discord.js, and I was wondering how to do a command to delete a specific channel with a name ex : !delete #general

I already tried to do the following:

if (command == "delete") {
  channel.delete(args.join(" "))
  }

but it doesn't work so I'm kinda stuck thank you

use:

message.channel.delete();

you can put it in client.on like this

client.on("message", message => { message.channel.delete() })

If you want to delete a specific channel with eval command then use this code

t!eval 
const fetchedChannel = message.guild.channels.cache.get("CHANNEL_ID");
fetchedChannel.delete();

That code now is old if you are going to up-date(with discord.js v12) it try with:

const fetchedChannel = message.guild.channels.cache.get(channel_id);
fetchedChannel.delete();

You have to use the .delete method to delete a guild textchannel. I added a new variable fetchedChannel which tries to fetch the channel by its name from args.

Try to use the following code:

const fetchedChannel = message.guild.channels.find(r => r.name === args.join(' '));

if (command === 'delete') {
    fetchedChannel.delete();
}
