if there's messages over 14 days old and some that aren't 14 days old it does not delete the messages that aren't 14 days old and it sends an error is there a way to delete the messages that are not over 14 days old and leave the ones that are over 14 days old if you can't then can you help me make it stop sending an error and make it send a message saying "You can only bulk delete messages that are under 14 days old." in the channel instead of it showing a error in the console thanks.

The messages that are bulk deletable in the Discord API are messages less than 14 days old. That is an API limitation, not the library limitation.

The library can filter out messages older than 14 days, like so.

message.channel.bulkDelete(number, true);

You need to set the filterOld parameter to true to automatically filter out old messages and not throw an error.
