you should store the message IDs when invoking the send method (from the message object returned) and delete those messages while emptying out your message id storage later on.

This is efficient than your approach for couple of reasons. For instance, with your approach you may have to filter out other messages/updates on that channel that weren't send by the bot (if your bot isn't the only admin who posts content).
