Slack is a messaging app for businesses that connects people to the information they need. By bringing people together to work as one unified team, Slack transforms the way organizations communicate. At the time of writing this piece, Slack was developed by an American software company Slack Technologies, and is now owned by Salesforce. Slack offers many IRC-style features, including persistent chat rooms organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging.

Afterward, the system will guide you to the “Account Settings” tab within the chosen Slack workspace.

Note: If you are doing this on your PC, the tab will open in your default browser and you will have to sign in to your Slack workspace to proceed.

In this window, please scroll down to the “Deactivate Account” option. Since we are interested in deactivating the workspace, click on the “Deactivate Your Account” button.
