How to Clear Slack Cache on Any Device
Clearing Slack cache on any device can greatly improve the application’s performance by getting rid of old data that may be causing the app to slow down or malfunction. Here are the steps for various devices:
For Desktop (Windows or Mac)
- Open Slack on your desktop.
- Click on your workspace name in the top left corner to open the menu.
- Navigate to ‘Help’, then go to ‘Troubleshooting’.
- Select ‘Clear Cache and Restart’. Slack will restart automatically, and the cache will be cleared.
For macOS
- In addition to the steps above, you can also go to `~/Library/Application Support/Slack` in Finder.
- Delete the ‘Cache’ and ‘Service Worker’ folders.
For Android
- Go to your phone’s settings.
- Scroll down and tap on ‘Apps’ or ‘Application Manager’.
- Find and select ‘Slack’ from the app list.
- Tap on ‘Storage’, then press ‘Clear Cache’.
For iOS
On iOS, you cannot clear Slack’s cache manually from within the app or settings. Instead, you need to delete and reinstall the app:
- Press and hold down on the Slack app icon until it starts wiggling.
- Tap on the ‘x’ that appears to delete the app.
- Go to the App Store and reinstall Slack.
Remember that clearing cache will sign you out of Slack on your device, so make sure you know your login details before proceeding with these steps. Following these instructions can help ensure that Slack runs more smoothly on your device without unnecessary data cluttering its memory.
