I just can't get it working... about slack-cleaner HOT 10 CLOSED

which version of the slack-cleaner are you using, since this fork is python 3 compatible while the original isn't (but there is already a PR for that)

see

re pip install, you can also try to install it via:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/sgratzl/slack-cleaner.git#egg=slack-cleaner

please make sure that th token has the necessary permission scopes see https://github.com/sgratzl/slack-cleaner#minimal-slack-permission-scopes-required

from slack-cleaner.

More than the minimum scope:

is there a groups:history and groups:readscope?

from slack-cleaner.

Can't believe I missed that. No there wasn't, and now it works!

Just one more question – if I want to delete all DMs between two users:
slack-cleaner --token <TOKEN> --message --direct sherry --user johndoe
Will that only delete messages sent by johndoe in the DM between johndoe and sherry?
If I do --direct sherry --user "*", will that delete all DMs with sherry (and other users)?

Thanks so much – still feeling my way through Python!

direct messages are a special thing, they are very hard to delete, see also #22 . As far as I know one can only deletes ones own messages that the owner of the token sent.

Ok, no worries – thank you for your help!

Edit: Figured out that I can delete files from DMs sent by other users, just not messages... strange that there isn't a scope that allows me to do that with messages also.
