I'm trying "slack-cleaner --token "xoxp-XXX" --message --channel "geraldotest"" and it's only listing 0 messages, no matter what....

Also tryed: slack-cleaner --token "xoxp-XXX" --message --direct user1--user me_user2 I get: Running slack-cleaner v0.3.0 Channel, direct message or private group not found

Any hint on what might be happening? Any way that I can see debugging info? Thank you.

The following command worked for me:

slack-cleaner --token=xoxp-XXX --message --channel=general --bot --perform --rate 1

re first case: you have to add --user=* to select all users in this channel re second case: are you sure that the user1 has really that name? like in my case the visual name is different from the internal name

Your username is different form first name and @name. Slack is phasing out showing usernames, but if you need to check what yours is, you can check here: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.list/test
