Bulk Slack Message Removal Extension

Delete Slack messages in bulk. It supports removing slack messages in public channels, private channels, group chat, and DM. (Caveat: for group chat and DM, you can ONLY remove your own messages).

Also, it removes threaded messages as well.
Disclaimer: This is a paid product.

ATTENTION:
There are 2 different types of licenses. You must be an admin in order to delete other people's messages. Once again, you can't delete other people's DM or group chat messages.

Admin License - If you are a Slack admin, you should choose this license. It would allow you to remove other people's messages in channels. A non-admin license will let you remove your own messages only.

NOTE: you can only remove your own messages in a DM, however.

Non-admin License - You should choose this license if you are simply a member in your Slack workspace. Nothing prevents you from using an admin license, but you'll still only be allowed to remove your own messages.

Instructions
* Log in with your Slack login.
* Get a license via Gumroad and enter it in the extension popup.
* Select the target channel, DM, etc..
* Select the message sender whose messages you would like to delete.
* Click on the Bulk Delete button.

Jenn Wlem (ID: 0000008a6e251a4f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/18/2023 I wasn't allowed to use this app with my organization; however the developer is very responsive and provides excellent customer service. If you're hesitating about using this, don't--there IS a person on the other end! The instructions were also easy to follow.
