How do you have a Discord bot remove a user reaction to a message in discord.py?

Question

I'm using an @client.event and using async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload): to read Discord reaction events. I need to be able to delete a user reaction when they fail one of the flags in my code. I saw in the documentation that there is await remove(user) but I don't think I'm using it right. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use either Message.remove_reaction or Reaction.remove.

A Reaction object represents a specific emoji reaction to a Message, so if the Reaction object you have is not for the emoji reaction that you want to remove, using Reaction.remove will attempt to remove the wrong emoji reaction.
