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.

- (2023-07-12) Rooster: Used to work, not any longer.
- (2023-07-11) Andy Hoang: Free option doesnt even delete messages
- (2023-03-24) Drijfveer Media: If it does not work, disable spam blocker. Worked or me (free version)
- (2023-01-29) Muhammad Khizer Javed: $49.99/Y Paid!
- (2022-11-20) Saman Mohamadi: It's not free keep asking for money.
- (2022-09-23) Ricky: 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.
- (2022-06-30) Amy Posner: 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.
- (2022-05-01) The Freecoasters: Pay $50 before you can even use it, and all the reviews say it doesn't work... Good luck, losers.
- (2022-03-17) Nhung Thi Nguyen: I have to scroll up to continue delete
- (2021-10-13) Ruan Mighail Pienaar: Just asked for Payment
- (2021-08-09) Mahesh Gupta: 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.
- (2021-03-08) K M: This does not delete my messages when they are in a thread,
- (2021-02-18) Lucia Torres: 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.
- (2021-01-26) Mayana Veras: Voltou a funcionar!
- (2021-01-25) Dd pp: 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.
- (2021-01-13) Marc Bower: 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.
- (2020-11-22) Vitalij Ivanov: 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.
- (2020-11-13) it's not working. it is fake
- (2020-11-12) Bengi: Hi! Unfortunately it doesn't work. It says deleting messages, but nothing happens. How i can solve this? Thanks
- (2020-11-11) Ash: 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,
- (2020-10-06) Lorenzo Nicora: 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.
- (2020-10-06) Alex: Doesn't delete in threads
- (2020-10-01) Colin Boyd: Doesn't delete anything, so not sure what function it's supposed to serve as a "message deleter."
- (2020-09-10) Rob Willie: 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.

- (2020-04-13) Warren Anderson: Did not delete anything. It just blinks at me.
- (2020-03-31) Carlos Ernesto Perez Capote: 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!
- (2020-03-05) Alex: 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!
- (2020-03-02) Any update on when this will be working again?
- (2020-02-26) Karina H: 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"
- (2020-02-10) I used it for a long time and it doesn't work anymore. We wait for an update

- (2019-11-27) Umut Ali Alaraş: I can only delete my own message. He wants money for all of them. not worth it. !
