When a (Spam) Bot Joins the Server and Gets Kicked/Banned, the Bot-Managed Role Does NOT Get Deleted, and I Cannot Delete the Role.

This is not the same issue as posts in previous years; my server as well as various other servers were used to spam/mass advertise a server using two "birthday" bots that would spam server members with messages promising a fake giveaway by joining a server for "Discord's birthday."

When we discovered these spam bots, we successfully banned the bots from our servers and blocked them from dm'ing us. Unfortunately, they left behind their managed roles that we have no control over, and we can't delete the role!

I am wanting to delete this role. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any work-around for this BUG? How have you handled the situation? Any help would be appreciated on this topic ASAP!

[I want to clarify that "Discord's birthday" has nothing to do with the actual day; they chose a random day to spam the messages.]

    I'm having the same problem; This needs to be addressed. Having these roles on the servers makes me wonder if a shady bot can add themselves to these roles previous bots had & then have permissions you didn't agree to when adding them.
