In a private chat (a user and a Bot) is it possible to delete user messages (or text commands after pressing a custom keyboard button)to keep the chat clean and more readable?
I'm looking for a solution that acts like inline keyboard mechanism (a label for the button and a command to send).
I have tested the deletemessageasync and I was able to remove the Bot sent messages, but couldn't remove user messages.
Any idea?

Your bot must be group administrator
To get the messages you can use:

It's possible
you can delete messages sent by a user to the bot in private chats since bot API 4.2 released
here is the release note: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#april-14-2019
The method deleteMessage can now be used to delete messages sent by a user to the bot in private chats within 48 hours.
