How to Cancel Slack and Delete Your Account Fast?

Slack is a channel-based communication platform that offers its users chat rooms, private groups, and direct messaging features.

The company counts around 12 million daily active users, and offers free and paid subscription plans.

How Can I Cancel Slack?

Depending on whether you want to deactivate your paid subscription and switch to a free one or delete your Slack account entirely, you can try a few options.

Cancel Your Slack Paid Subscription by Downgrading to a Free Plan

You can cancel your paid subscription but keep your account by switching to a free plan.

Here are the steps to take:

1. Open Slack
2. Click on your Workspace name in the top left corner
3. Click on Select Settings & Administration
4. Select the Billing option from the menu
5. Pick Change Plan from the Overview tab
6. Choose Switch Immediately to Free plan
7. Select Preview Changes
8. Confirm by checking the box at the bottom of the page
9. Click Downgrade Slack

When switching to a free plan, you will still keep your account, but some Slack features will change:

• File storage limit will be 5GB
• Guest accounts will be shut down
• The Email app will be deactivated
• Your message limit will be reduced to 10,000
• Your workspace won't be able to have more than ten third-party apps

How to Delete Your Slack Account Permanently?

You can also delete your slack account and remove your data from the app.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open Slack on your desktop
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner
3. Pick the View profile option from the menu
4. Click More
5. Choose Account Settings
6. Scroll down until you reach the Deactivate Account option
7. Click Deactivate Your Account
8. Type in your password
9. Click Confirm Password
10. Click on the Yes, Deactivate My Account button

Take note that if you're a member of more than one workspace, you'll have to deactivate each account separately.

If you are the Primary Workspace Owner, you will have to transfer ownership to someone else before being able to deactivate.

Your messages and personal data will remain on the platform even if you deactivate it. You could delete them by contacting Slack at feedback@slack.com if you were the Primary Workspace Owner. If you are not, then you have to ask the person who is to do it.
