Dump and load cached messages.

I'm not the one that usually works with the Discord Bot in our system, but I usually learn somethings. I know the Client keeps a cache of messages and such, ultimately I want to be able to get who deleted a message and why, is there a way to access the cache of messages directly, since Partials don't let me see anything from the onDeletedMessage.
Solution:
if you only want to get who deleted a message, the way i do it in bots i have for some servers is by fetching audit logs and comparing the author and stuff

Not really honestly. Only for a very short time after deletion. You can look at @Skyra 's snipe command for basically the limit that is possible. In lieu of me being too lazy to grab the URL manually:

Yeah they don't, so I default it to the user who sent the message
