Deleting someone from Slack Workplace
Log in to your Slack Workplace on PC and follow the steps below to remove someone from your Slack Workplace.
Step 1: Tap on either your or the Slack Workplace’s name at the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on Administration and then Manage members from the list that appears to the right. (You’ll see a few more options in this menu after the latest Slack update).
Step 2: On the next page, you’ll see a list of the members on your Slack Workplace. Scroll down to the name of the member you wish to remove from your Slack Workplace and click on the horizontal triple-dot menu icon to the extreme right of their name. From the drop-down menu, click on Deactivate account.
The member will be removed from your Slack Workplace, but you’ll still have access to the past messages and files shared by the person you just removed. However, the number of messages that’ll be available entirely depends on whether your Slack workplace is free or paid.
You can also reactivate the member’s profile on your Slack channel at a later point either as a full member or a guest account.
