If you're purging 10 messages, Context has everything you need to purge the channel. You can get the channel using Context.channel and use the purge() method to purge messages in a TextChannel. Then you can use the limit kwarg to set a limit.

If you're trying to nuke the entire channel, Context also allows you to easily get the channel to nuke by using Context.channel. Get the position of the TextChannel to be deleted using the attribute position, make a clone using the clone() method of TextChannel and delete the original channel using delete(). Then use TextChannel.edit() with the position kwarg to fix the channel list.

Try doing this:

    async def clear(self, ctx, amount=10): # the amount is 10 
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount) # set the default clear limit to 10
