Code:
            Del_Spam()
                set category = "GM"
                set src in view()
                input("What type?", A)in list("Mob", "Object", "Turf")
                if(A == "Mob")
                    input("Delete what mob?", M)as mob in view()
                    del(M)
                if(A == "Object")
                    input("Delete what object?", O)as obj in view()
                    del(O)
                if(A == "Turf")
                    input("Delete what turf?", T)as turf in view()
                    del(T)


Problem description:

I don't get any errors, but when I choose what type I wanna delete, it doesn't bring up a list of Objects/Mobs/Turfs.

What do I have wrong?

Try using in list()

You didn't define A's variable. input doesn't just keep data and assing it to a fun variable. What you have to do is switch through the list elements, or set a variable to them. Or, if you have a two-choice input(), you can use if(input()=="element")

Anyway, this is what you should have.
            Del_Spam()
                set category = "GM"
                set src in view()
                switch(input("What type?")in list("Mob", "Object", "Turf"))
                    if("Mob")
                        var/mob/M=input("Delete what mob?", M)as mob in view()
                        del(M)
                    if("Object")
                        var/obj/O=input("Delete what object?", O)as obj in view()
                        del(O)
                    if("Turf")
                        var/turf/T=input("Delete what turf?", T)as turf in view()
                        del(T)


Of coarse, you can always make that safer. Just add a few checks like istype() and ASSERT()
