This script will delete files that you posted to Slack more than 30 days ago.<br>

<h3>Step 1: Retrieve Slack API test token</h2>
Go to <a href="https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens" target="_blank">https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens</a> and retrieve a test token for the Slack API.
<h3>Step 2: Paste API token + run the script</h2>
Paste the token here:<br>
<input type="text" id="token" name="token" placeholder="Slack API token" size="70" />
<input type="button" id="run" name="run" value="Run" />
<h3>Output</h2>
