- `--message-id: string`

  Path param: Message ID.

- `--for-everyone: optional boolean`

  Query param: True to request deletion for everyone when the network supports it; false to delete only for the authenticated user when supported.

beeper-desktop messages delete \
  --access-token 'My Access Token' \
