I'm trying to make this code work only in a specific channel. It just sends a ton of errors when I try to do the command in the right channel. Ill add my imports if you want to test it. Last time I tried to ask this question it got denied. I still don't know what to do and just need a little help as i'm new to coding a discord bot.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import os
import random
import asyncio
from asyncio import gather    
        
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.')
        
@client.command()
    async def car(ctx):
            pictures = [
            'https://car-images.bauersecure.com/pagefiles/78294/la_auto_show_11.jpg',

            channel = discord.utils.get()
            if channel == 705161333972140072:
                await ctx.channel.purge(limit=1)
                await ctx.send(f'{random.choice(pictures)}')
    
client.run('token')

You need a few changes in the command function:

Fix indentation
Use ctx.channel.id instead of channeland discord.utils.get()
Rather than purging, delete the command msg

@client.command()
async def car(ctx):
    pictures = [
    'https://car-images.bauersecure.com/pagefiles/78294/la_auto_show_11.jpg',
    'http://www.azstreetcustom.com/uploads/2/7/8/9/2789892/az-street-custom-gt40-2_orig.jpg',

    ]
    if ctx.channel.id == 705161333972140072:
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await ctx.send(random.choice(pictures))

client.run('token')
