Yaron Landau (ID: 0000005eda597fb2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/27/2023 Works very well, but I noticed that while deletion is in progress, and I change channel/DM, it is removing the new channel messages, which is unexpected behavior.

Stuart Walker (ID: 0000001fe0e74de2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Great little tool. I too had issues with ver 2.0 that stopped working after some subtle change in the way Slack worked, but 3.0 has brought it back to life. I just let it churn away in the background, deleting all my work-related messages that I don't want hanging around for too long. Very occasionally it stops working due to Slack or Chrome not quite behaving itself. I restart it after a quick refresh and off it goes again. I like it.
