Failed to delete
I have a slack channel populated by and incoming webhook bot. I want to clear the channel, I have paid account maybe I can do this within admin? I use this command and just get loads of failed to delete messages, any help would be great!
This is the command I use slack-cleaner --token=###mytoken --message --channel my-channel --bot --perform --log --rate 1
i ran into the same issue. Problem was that I used a bot token. I'm now using a test token from Slack's OAuth test page (https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens) and it works now.
Thanks for info, I defo using a test token from that page so I dont think thats the problem.
Same issue here. The token is created by the https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens so i don't think the token is the problem
This was incredibly helpful! Perhaps this should be added in the readme at the bottom?
Bump!
Same issue happens
Token from https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens
Command:
sudo slack-cleaner --token SECRET --message --group groupname --bot --after 20170325 --perform --log --rate 1
Result for each message:
Failed to delete -> ...
I use legacy tokens and I get a certain indeterminate number that DO delete but then it fails and the rest of the messages fail from then on.
I just have to keep re-running it multiple times until it fully deletes :(
slack-cleaner --token SECRET --message --group groupname --bot --before 20170413 --perform
Used to work flawlessly but have had this issue in the past couple months or so.
Hello, Same issue with legacy tokens, and like @edwinter , we have to re-run after ~15sec (first messages are deleted correctly).
With zsh, there is a command called repeat, combined with timeout, it's possible to avoid manual re-run :
repeat 50 timeout 10s slack-cleaner --token ........
Same here, trying to delete all msg from a channel. The msg count show up correctly but always failed to delete. We are using rate of 5 seconds.
