async def time_check():
    global image_channel
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    image_channel=bot.get_channel(image_channel_id)
    while not bot.is_closed:

        if now == send_time:
            await send_image()
        await asyncio.sleep(60)

bot.loop.create_task(time_check())

bot.run('TOKEN')```

From your question, I understood that you have a bunch of folders with a bunch of images in them and you want to make a command that sends a random image.

import os, random

@bot.command()
async def random_image(ctx, category: str = None):
    root_dir = os.listdir('./images')
    # If the user doesn't specify a category send a random image from a random folder
    if category is None:
         # Getting a random directory and file
         dir = random.choice(root_dir)
         image = random.choice(os.listdir(os.path.join(root_dir, dir)))
         path = os.path.join(dir, image)
    
    elif category in root_dir:
        # Getting a random file from the category
        image = random.choice(os.listdir(os.path.join(root_dir, category)))
        path = os.path.join(dir, image)

    else:
        await ctx.send("Couldn't find that category")
        return
    
    # Sending the image in an embed
    file = discord.File(path)
    
    embed = discord.Embed(title=category.title(), colour=discord.Colour.greyple())
    embed.set_image(url=f'attachments://{image}')
    
    await ctx.send(file=file, embed=embed)

{prefix}random_image ? will send a random image from a random dir

{prefix}random_image dog ? will send a random image from ./images/dog dir

Let me know if that's what you were asking for.

@bot.command()
async def random_image(ctx):
  Images = ['./Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png',
          './Folder/Image_Name.png']
  await ctx.send(file=discord.File(f'{random.choice(Images)}'))
