Message deleter for Slack 2.0
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-16.
Delete Slack messages in bulk - channels, private channels and direct messages supported
🚀 NEW UPDATED VERSION - AUGUST 2023 🚀
⭐️ Preferred version to use is Message deleter for Slack 3.0: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gpjmcgacbkeokgllnkjkiahiegkaalfb
⭐️ This version – Message deleter for Slack 2.0 – will be phased out soon
🚀 Easily avoid the "10k limit reached" notifications
⭐️ Your team has more than 10,000 messages in its archive
⭐️ Your team has sent over X messages past the 10k limit
⭐️ Upgrade to access your first X messages
⭐️ To see and search this channel’s full history, upgrade to one of our paid plans
🚀 Notice
⭐️ Direct messages from the other person can't be deleted, nor in the original Slack interface
⭐️ Threaded messages aren't supported
🚀 Did you know that...?
⭐️ Team Owners and Admins can export message and file history from Slack?
⭐️ And with Compliance Exports enabled the exports include messages and files even from private channels and direct messages?!
🚀 Security and privacy
⭐️ No data are transmitted to anywhere, ever. Message deleter for Slack is client-side only.
🚀 Warranty/uncertainty of functionality
⭐️ Message deleter for Slack depends on functionalities of 3rd parties therefore there's no guarantee all features will work the same forever. Some features may be removed, some new ones added. At worst it's also possible all features will stop working.
Completely free and with no ads

Used to work, not any longer.
Free option doesnt even delete messages
If it does not work, disable spam blocker. Worked or me (free version)
$49.99/Y Paid!
It's not free keep asking for money.
Doesn't work. Ended up writing my own script, which I'm releasing for free. Download Autohotkey. Then, create an Autohotkey file with the .ahk extension, e.g. ExampleFile.ahk. Go to the link here and paste the contents inside the .ahk file - https://pastebin.com/KqqPZypn After you're done, double click the file to run. Then, just press F12 to toggle script on and off.
Works just as described; you do have to scroll in conversations occasionally to load more messages to delete, and it is a little slow since each message is deleted individually, but it pretty much runs in the background. This is just what I needed, and I'm able to delete all of my messages without paying for additional access.
Pay $50 before you can even use it, and all the reviews say it doesn't work... Good luck, losers.
I have to scroll up to continue delete
Just asked for Payment
Just what I needed. Required a refresh at start but when it started it worked flawlessly. Just one thing to note if you move away from that window it won't work, and you need to keep scrolling slowly while it's deleting.
This does not delete my messages when they are in a thread,
Works fairly well. I needed to clean out our General channel because we were adding some external members to our workspace and the general channel had some internal messages. I paid for the admin version and the flaw I ran into was that it wouldn't delete thread messages. (It deleted the main messages, but not sub-messages, it would get 'stuck' every time there was a thread). I had to pause the process and manually delete the messages in the thread. Luckily it didn't take toooo long, but for $50, I expected it to automate the whole process.
Voltou a funcionar!
pro tip: zoom out to 25% and/or use "custom page zoom" to make it auto as possible. may burn your cpu and memoy though.
It works for me (free version), but it's painfully slow. However, slow is better than the "not at all" option offered by slack themselves, so thank you for this extension. We used it to clean out the #general channel (which my group used as the main chat channel.. I know, bad choice) to add another team in on the server. Fortunately a small group we are, so we each went through over a couple of hours and scrolled our way through the deletion.
Free version is useless, paid version is not far behind and a rip off. Just use completely free, highly customizable open-sourced `slack-cleaner` from Github.
it's not working. it is fake
Hi! Unfortunately it doesn't work. It says deleting messages, but nothing happens. How i can solve this? Thanks
It was ok, It requires the messages to be in focus to delete it, so its not automated.. you still have to scroll through your entire channel history.. I guess it saves a bunch of clicks,
It does not really work for me. I tried disabling all other extensions and reloading the slack page multiple times, scroll the page so my messages are visible... but nothing. If I push the "Delete My messages" button, it start flashing pretending it's deleting but nothing happens.
Doesn't delete in threads
Doesn't delete anything, so not sure what function it's supposed to serve as a "message deleter."
So - at the moment its not working for me (maybe Slack updated their ui again?) however, I have seen it working and its clear that Peta Sittek cares about this plugin, so I'm sure it will be working again soon. Thank you for all your hard work on this.
After upgrading to 2.8.0, it is working as expected. Thanks Peta for the Quick support
Works great and Peta does a great job keeping it updated and communicating regarding issues and fixes! Thanks so much!
Working still last week but not working from today
not working at all
Does not work.. maybe an update to slack made the plugin to stop working?
Did not delete anything. It just blinks at me.
It worked great for me until the latest Slack update... it would be great to see it fixed... maybe I can help... thanks, great job!
Works as it should again with version 2.6.1! I do wish it was a little faster but hey, beggars can't be choosers :^) Keep up the awesome work Peta, thank you!
Any update on when this will be working again?
It does not work. Very frustrating. Not sure why this is even advertised as an extension. It does nothing and the developer copies and pastes the same response to every review to "please be patient"
I used it for a long time and it doesn't work anymore. We wait for an update
It indeed doesn't seem to work anymore. Hoping for an update soon as I need it a lot right now :)
Current version doesn't work, even when yesterday it worked perfectly.
Current version doesn't work any longer.
Liked it while it worked. Stopped working now. Just says it's running but messages stay. Using the new 2.0 version.
Not working for me, ext running but messages are still there
Was working well but doesn't work anymore since a few days. But was very helpful !
Poor than older version. Never work.
No clue if its working, it says it running, but messages are still there
It doesn't work at all and older version as well.
This is extremely helpful - the earlier version was good - the current verison is even better. Thanks Peta!
After an initial hiccup, works as advertised!
This doesn't seem to work anymore.
Worked really well for me.
I can only delete my own message. He wants money for all of them. not worth it. !
