You know the old saying, “it’s easier to tear something down than it is to build it?” Well, it’s kind of the opposite with workspace collaboration tools like Slack. When I wanted to set up my Slack account, all I had to do was click a button, enter my email address, and everything fell into place.
When I changed my email address and decided to delete my previous Slack account, I ran into a minor snag. This article will walk you through the process of easily deleting your Slack account.
How to Delete a Slack Account
1. Log in and then navigate to your workspace dashboard. Then, in the top right corner, click on your profile picture.
If you do not have a profile picture, the first letter of your email address will be displayed.
2. When you click on it, a drop-down menu appears. Click on ‘profile’ from this menu.
3. Then, on the next page or slab that appears, scroll down and click on account settings if you’re on mobile
4. If you’re using a PC, go to ‘more’ and then account settings.
5. Scroll down and click on ‘delete workspace’.
