Deactivate Slack Account: How to delete your access

You can deactivate your Slack account if you no longer want to use the app. Only a few steps are necessary for this.

Disable Slack Account Instructions

Slack is an American, web-based instant messaging service for exchanging personal messages. If you want to delete your account, you have to do the following:

• Select your workspace name and click on "Profile & Account" in the menu.
• You can access your account settings using the "More Actions" button.
• Scroll down to "Deactivate Account". There you will find "Deactivate your account". Make sure that you also activate the adjacent checkbox.
• With another click on "Deactivate account" you will be asked to enter your password for confirmation.
• Your account will then be deactivated with immediate effect.

Interesting facts about deactivating the account

Although the account is quickly deactivated, not all of your data has been deleted. Therefore, pay attention to the following tips:

• If you are a member of several workspaces, each account must be deactivated individually.
• If you do not find an option to deactivate, this is because you are not the primary workspace owner. You must then transfer ownership to someone else first.
• Deactivating the account will not delete shared files and messages. You should therefore delete these before you deactivate your account.
• If, in addition to deactivation, you also want to delete your profile information, you must then contact a primary workspace owner. Only this can remove all information.
• If you later want to return to the workspace after deactivation, your account can be reactivated by an administrator.
