    TL;DR: Call getUpdates() with the offset parameter set to the last message’s id, incremented by 1

    We’ll need to let Telegram know which message’s we’ve processed. To do this, set the offset parameter to the update_id + 1 of the last message your script has processed.

    1. Call getUpdates() to get the update_id of the latest message

      https://api.telegram.org/<MY-TOKEN>/getUpdates

      {
    "ok": true,
        "result": [
            {
                "update_id": 343126593,   # <-- Remember / Save this id
                "message": {
                ...

    2. Increment the update_id by 1

    3. On the next getUpdates() call, set the offset parameter to the id:

      https://api.telegram.org/<MY-TOKEN>/getUpdates?offset=343126594

    To delete all messages find update id of last message of the queue..

    enter image description here

    here "836737487", so run on browser

    "https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getupdates?offset=836737488"

    [note: offset integer value will be higher than update_id of last message]

    and if you want to delete specific message then set offset value as update_id of the next message of that specific message
