```

## /channel recreate

This command clones a channel and deletes the original copy.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The bot needs Manage Channels permission to execute this command.
{% endhint %}

Author and bot both require Manage Channel and Manage Role permissions to execute this command.
{% endhint %}

```
/channel lock [channel]
```

{% endhint %}

```

```

## /channel clear

Delete messages in that channel. Also displays how many messages per user have been deleted.

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}

```
/channel clear <amount> [channel]
```

## /channel name

Rename a channel.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Bot requires Manage Channels to execute this command and the author requires Manage Channels to execute this command.
{% endhint %}
