Getting an java.lang.IllegalStateException on message.delete().queue()

[Beutilo]

Hey guys!
Following problem.

I have a bot which answers in the private channel (dm). I have to "delete" the messages of the users of the queue in order to not have duplicate answers.
For example if I do not delete the message)

User msg: !info
Bot: xanswer
User msg: !info
Bot: xanswer
Bot: xanswer

Now I fixed the problem by the following quote, the problem is that I get an exception in the console (it still works tho).

if (event.isFromType(ChannelType.PRIVATE))
		{
			if(msg.startsWith(DiscordBotHauptklasse.prefix))
			{
				switch (msg)
				{
					case "!info":
						message.getChannel().sendMessage(Messages.info).queue();
						message.delete().queue();
						break;
					case "!infoextra":
						message.getChannel().sendMessage(Messages.infoextra).queue();
						message.delete().queue();
						break;
					default:
						message.getChannel().sendMessage("Ungültiger Command.").queue();
						message.delete().queue();
						break;
				}

The stacktrace and error does not match. The stacktrace says you’ve called getGuild in line 21 but you have getMessage there. Are you showing the correct code? Neverthless, the error is you’ve tried to get a Guild object when the message is not from one; and you should get help through Discord, not here.

Which Discord?

For this issue it is exactly like the exception suggests: You can't delete another users messages in DMs.
By the way, the call to super.onMessageReceived is not necessary, it does nothing.
You can join the JDA Discord server DG mentioned over here -> https://discord.gg/0hMr4ce0tIk3pSjp

Alright.
Thanks

To be clear, while real-time help is providable in the Discord (and historically been recommended over Github Issues), the reason we opened up Github Discussions is to facilitate stack overflow like assistance.

The best way to fix this issue, if you still want to delete messages when possible is to either use GuildMessageReceivedEvent if your system should only work within a guild, or do some checks for if the message is from a guild and if your bot has the right permissions.

(Also, don't forget to always select an response as solution if it helped you solving the issue, as that helps others finding solutions to similar problems.)
