slack-delete-files

Mass delete files from Slack using JavaScript.

Because Slack comes with limited file storage and there's no way to bulk delete files in order to free up space. (Source)

Install

⚠️ This app depends on Node.js 8+.

$ npm install -g slack-delete-files

Instead of polluting global installs, you can also run the Node binary directly:

$ npx slack-delete-files
