# slack-cleaner
Bulk delete messages and files on Slack.
## Install
Install from Pip:

```bash
docker pull kfei/slack-cleaner
```
## Usage
```bash
# Delete all messages from a channel
slack-cleaner --token --message --channel general --user "*"
# Delete all messages from a private group
slack-cleaner --token --message --group hr --user "*"
# Delete all messages from a direct message channel
slack-cleaner --token --message --direct sherry --user johndoe
# Delete all messages from a multiparty direct message channel. Note that the
# list of usernames must contains yourself
slack-cleaner --token --message --mpdirect sherry,james,johndoe --user "*"
# Delete all messages from certain user

# Delete all snippets and images
slack-cleaner --token --file --types snippets,images

slack-cleaner --help
```
## Tips
After the task, a backup file `slack-cleaner..log` will be created
in current directory if `--log` is supplied.
If any API problem occurred, try `--rate=` to reduce the API
call rate (which by default is unlimited).
If you see the following warning from `urllib3`, consider to install missing
packages: `pip install --upgrade requests[security]` or just upgrade your
Python to 2.7.9.
```
InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available.
This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail.
For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.
