+
+        Arguments
+            entity (entities):
+                The entity of the dialog to delete. If it's a chat or
+                channel, you will leave it. Note that the chat itself
+                is not deleted, only the dialog, because you left it.
+
+            revoke (`bool`, optional):
+                On private chats, you may revoke the messages from
+                the other peer too. By default, it's ``False``. Set
+                it to ``True`` to delete the history for both.

+            The :tl:`Updates` object that the request produces,
+            or nothing for private conversations.
