discord.py purge command not working and no error

Question

So I want to purge the message of a particular member. This is my code.

@commands.command()
async def purge_member(self, ctx, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=100, check=lambda message: message.author == member)

The problem is the messages of the member are not getting purged. It does not show any error either.

I have tried many other methods instead of purge to delete but all of them refuse to work, with no errors

If you have an on_message event, add process_commands at the end of it

# In Cog
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(m):
    ...
    await self.bot.process_commands(m)

# In Main File
@bot.event
async def on_message(m):
    ...
    await bot.process_commands(m)

If you have not un-commented the code do it else it won't work

# In Cog
@commands.command()
async def purge_member(self, ctx, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=100, check=lambda message: message.author == member)

# In Main File
@bot.command()
async def purge_member(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=100, check=lambda message: message.author == member)
