Delete channels

Permanently remove a channel from App Context storage with Delete() or DeleteChannel().

Both methods produce the same result. Call Delete() on a Channel object or DeleteChannel() on the Chat object with the channel ID.

Soft delete deprecated

Soft deletion for channels has been deprecated. Delete() now always performs a hard delete. Use Delete() without any parameters to permanently remove a channel. The soft parameter and Restore() method are no longer available for channels.
