Removing an app

Workflow apps require a paid plan

Join the Developer Program and provision a sandbox with access to all Slack features for free.

All good things must come to an end. You can uninstall your app if you need to remove an app from a workspace, change app permissions, or delete the app in its entirety.

Uninstall an app from your team​

Removing an app from a workspace doesn't have to be a permanent decision. Sometimes uninstalling the app to remove it's active presence in channels is sufficient! This option has the added benefit of reinstallation at a later time without recreating the entire app.

To uninstall an app using the CLI, use the slack uninstall command. Then, choose the workspace you want to remove the app from:

slack uninstall -a A123ABC456 -t T123ABC456
⚠️ Warning
   App (A123ABC456) will be uninstalled from my-workspace (T123ABC456)
   All triggers, workflows, and functions will be deleted
   Datastore records will be persisted

❓ Are you sure you want to uninstall? Yes

🏠 Workspace uninstall
   Uninstalled the app "my-app" from workspace "my-workspace"

Delete an app from your team​

Deleting your app permanently deletes all of its data

Your app's related workflows, functions, and datastores will also be deleted. This decision is final and cannot be undone.

To delete an app using the CLI, use the slack delete command:

slack delete -a A123ABC456 -t T123ABC456
⚠️ Danger zone
   App (A123ABC456) will be permanently deleted
   All triggers, workflows, and functions will be deleted
   All datastores for this app will be deleted
   Once you delete this app, there is no going back

❓ Are you sure you want to delete the app? Yes
