Purge in Discord.js

Question

I am trying to create a purge command. In my research so far, this command was created in a separate file, in a commands folder, but I would like to put the command in my main.js

However, the following error occurs:

ReferenceError: args is not defined

My code so far looks like this:

else if (parts[0] === Prefix + 'purge') {
        console.log("purging messages")


        embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle("Success")
            .setColor(0x00AE86)
            .setFooter("Guardian", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
            .setThumbnail("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
            .setTimestamp()
            .setURL("https://github.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/tree/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian")
            .addField("Bot Messages Purged", "missing code here", false)
            .addField("User Pins Purged", "missing code here", false)
            .addField("User Messages Purged", "missing code here", false)
            .addField("Total Messages Purged", "missing code here", false)

        message.channel.send({ embed });

        const amount = parseInt(args[0]) + 1;

        if (isNaN(amount)) {
            return message.reply('that doesn\'t seem to be a valid number.');
        } else if (amount <= 1 || amount > 100) {
            return message.reply('you need to input a number between 1 and 99.');
        }

        message.channel.bulkDelete(amount, true).catch(err => {
            console.error(err);
            message.channel.send('there was an error trying to prune messages in this channel!');
        });

You said args is not defined so just define args

   const args = message.content.slice(Prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);

Paste this on top of console.log("purging messages")
