šŸ› Issue: Permission Error (50013) When Deleting a Role with Discord Bot

Description: I am encountering a 50013 Permission error when my Discord bot tries to delete a role from a server. The role is confirmed to be below the bot's role in the hierarchy. The bot does have Admin permissions in the server. Expected Behavior: The role should be deleted without any permission errors. Actual Behavior: The bot throws a 50013 Permission error. Code Snippets: Role Removal Function: 
export const removeAllMembersFromStartupRole = async (guild: Guild) => {
    try {
        const role: Role | null = guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === ROLE_NAME) ?? null;
        if (role) {
            await role.delete(`Removing bot from guild ${guild.id}`);
        }
    } catch (error) {
        logger.error(error, `Failed to remove role ${ROLE_NAME} from members in guild ${guild.id}`);
    }
}
export const removeAllMembersFromStartupRole = async (guild: Guild) => {
    try {
        const role: Role | null = guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === ROLE_NAME) ?? null;
        if (role) {
            await role.delete(`Removing bot from guild ${guild.id}`);
        }
    } catch (error) {
        logger.error(error, `Failed to remove role ${ROLE_NAME} from members in guild ${guild.id}`);
    }
}
Bot Initialization (Index File): 
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageTyping,GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageReactions,GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages],
    partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel]
});

for (const [event, handler] of Object.entries(eventHandlers)) {
    if (handler) {
        client.on(event, handler);
    }
}
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageTyping,GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageReactions,GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages],
    partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel]
});

for (const [event, handler] of Object.entries(eventHandlers)) {
    if (handler) {
        client.on(event, handler);
    }
}
Any insights or solutions to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

When I run the role.delete in my interaction command it will remove without any problems but if I run it in my guildDelete Event handler it has permission issues.

Are you deleting the role from the guild that fired the guildDelete event?
C
chewie šŸŒˆā€¢198d ago
well, how do you expect the bot to remove a role on a guild the bot is not on?

No need for the condescending tone. I apologize if I misunderstood something. Thank you for helping me understand the situation. I'm uncertain about the best event to use for the 'Clean up'. I had assumed I could proceed with this particular event before the bot was removed.
