remove Slack settings (OS X)

remove-slack-settings.sh

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Slack/
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap/
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.savedState 
rm ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/*slack*

When Slack.app causes kernel panic, this worked for me.

This isn't working now... 🤔 (2.9.0) I had kernel panic now 😭

Saved me from an infinite loop of nonsense where my entire window was a connection error... but I was connected.

Saved me from slow typing on MacOS, thank you very much!

Slack was crashing and this helped a lot! thanks!

Also need to remove

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.helper.plist

In linux, Ubuntu specifically, the Slack config files are stored here:
~/.config/Slack

Simply removing prefs didn't fix my Slack connection woes. This cleaned up all of the local bits and bobs and got things going again. Thanks! 👍

Didn't work for me... still in a re-connect loop

Never-mind... slack is down.

Worked great when a users OSX version of slack was downloading all files as message.html for some reason. This script gives you a clean slate and fixed the issue. thanks.

this got me out of connection loop, thanks!

From 10.11 onwards, macOS protects certain folders by using SIP (System Integrity Protection). It may not be able to 'rm' the kext from terminal.

I still use the manual way to remove the Slack desktop app from Mac, following these steps:
~/Library/Application Support/Slack
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.savedState/
~/Library/Preferences/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.plist/
~/Library/Preferences/com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap.helper.plist/
~/Library/Logs/Slack/
The ~/Library/Caches/ and ~/Library/Containers/ directories can also contain Slack service files.

Tx :)

This was useful to me when a group changed to two-factor auth and wouldn't let me sign back in. Was stuck in an infinite loop of login with a tiny time window to remove workspace which never seemed to work out. What a painful process, Slack!
