How do I remove/auto delete reactions from a message?

I am in the process of creating a question bot. Here the bot asks different questions and also gives different ways to respond. I would like to keep this possibility. But I need an event, which removes the reactions under this message, after a user has submitted it. I haven't really found anything unfortunately, but would do something with a raw_reaction event, would I be right and how would that need to look? I also think that I would also need to define all the code to get the reactions of the message, is this so? My code so far:

    @commands.command()
    async def trivia_q(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Test, check your DMs")

        def check(m):
            return ctx.author == m.author and isinstance(m.channel, discord.DMChannel)

        e = discord.Embed(color=discord.Color.gold())
        e.title = "New question, new luck."
        e.description = "**When was Steve Jobs born?**"
        e.add_field(name="1️⃣", value="02/24/1955", inline=False)
        e.add_field(name="2️⃣", value="03/24/1955", inline=False)
        e.add_field(name="3️⃣", value="02/24/1965", inline=False)
        e.set_footer(text="You have x-x to answer this question.", icon_url=self.bot.user.avatar_url)
        e.timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
        question = await ctx.send(embed=e)
        await question.add_reaction("1️⃣")
        await question.add_reaction("2️⃣")
        await question.add_reaction("3️⃣")
        try:
            question = await self.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.author.send("You took to long to react.")
            return
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        e2 = discord.Embed(color=discord.Color.gold())
        e2.title = "New question, new luck."
        e2.description = "Test1"
        e2.add_field(name="1️⃣", value="02/24/1955")
        e2.add_field(name="2️⃣", value="03/24/1955")
        e2.add_field(name="3️⃣", value="02/24/1965")
        e2.set_footer(text="You have x-x to answer this question.")
        e2.timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
        await question.edit(embed=e2)
        await question.add_reaction("1️⃣")
        await question.add_reaction("2️⃣")
        await question.add_reaction("3️⃣")

Edit: I guess this will be a DM only command, not sure yet - Maybe makes it easier.

The error code I get is now:

TypeError: check() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

How would I continue?

You can remove all reactions from a message at once:

question = await ctx.send(embed=e)
await question.clear_reactions()

If you are trying to do this after a user has responded, use the await bot.wait_for("message", check=some_check_function)

See: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for
