The process of automatically deleting duplicate messages in a channel using discord.py involves the following steps:

  1. Import the necessary discord.py libraries and initialize the client object.

  2. Define a dictionary or any other data structure to store the history of messages sent in the channel.

  3. Create an event listener function that listens for any new messages sent in the channel.

  4. Within the listener function, check if the message is a duplicate by comparing its content to the previously sent messages.

  5. If the message is a duplicate, delete it using the message.delete() function.

  6. If the message is not a duplicate, add it to the message history dictionary.

  7. Run the client using the client.run() function to start the bot and begin monitoring the channel for new messages.

Overall, the key to automatically deleting duplicate messages in a channel using discord.py is to use an event listener to intercept new messages, and a message history data structure to keep track of previously sent messages.
