Deleting a channel

Because channel deletion is a destructive activity, only Team Owners and Admins can delete channels. If a channel is deleted, all of its content will be removed from your team's Slack archives permanently. We are unable to restore deleted channels.

To delete a channel:

  1. Go to your team's channel list at https://my.slack.com/archives
  2. On the Channels tab, click the channel name.
  3. Click the red Delete channel link.
  4. Check Yes, I am absolutely sure and click Delete it.

Note: The #general channel cannot be deleted.
