discord.py problems with if not arg (clear command)

Question

I have a problem with if not arg (I skip it directly) and I understand that putting arg: int creates problems for me. Do you know a solution? I tried w

If you don't specify a required argument while invoking a command, it will cause a MissingRequiredArgument error and it won't execute your function. You just have to add this error in your clear_error function like so:

@clear.error
async def clear_error(ctx, error):
    embed = discord.Embed(color=0xe74c3c)
    if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        embed.set_author(
            name="You're not authorized to delete messages!",
            icon_url='your image'
        )  
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        embed.set_author(
            name="You need to specify how many messages you want to delete!",
            icon_url='your image'
        )
    await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=10.0)

Also, you won't need your if not arg anymore
