How to remove someone from Slack workspaces

How to remove someone from Slack workspaces



When you remove someone from a Slack workspace, their account is deactivated. You can delete their profile information permanently if you no longer need it, but messages and files they sent before remain on the app. Deleting a profile cannot be undone

If you decide to reactivate the account, you can add them back as a regular member. More user role options like single-channel and multi-channel guests become available when you upgrade to a Pro plan. As a workspace owner or admin, you can remove people from Slack workspaces on the desktop app or from your browser. The mobile app doesn't provide options for kicking out a member from workspaces.

1. Open Slack.
2.  Click the menu icon in the upper-left corner.


3.  Go to File > Settings & Administration > Manage members.


4. Click the three-dot icon beside a member's name.
5.  Select Revoke invitation.


6. Slack prompts you to confirm the action. Click Deactivate. The member becomes inactive, and their username on all channels changes to @deactivateduser.
7. To delete their data permanently, click the three-dot icon again.
8.  Select Delete profile.


9.  Slack warns you that the action can't be undone. Click the checkbox, then click Delete profile.


10. To reactivate a Slack member, click the three-dot icon.
11. Select Activate account.
12. Select an account type. Then click Save. The member's account becomes active.
