To completely remove the old Workspace from your Slack app on Windows 11, follow these steps:
Method 1: Use Slack’s Built-in Option (If Available)
- Open Slack.
- Look at the left sidebar where the workspace logos are displayed.
- Right-click (or Ctrl + Click) on the workspace logo.
- If "Remove Workspace" appears, select it.
If that doesn’t work, proceed to the manual methods below.
Method 2: Clear Slack's App Data
Since Slack stores some settings locally, clearing the cache and local files can remove the lingering workspace.
- Close Slack completely
- Right-click the Slack icon in the system tray (bottom-right corner) and select Quit Slack.
- Delete Slack’s cache and storage files
- Press Win + R, type the following, and hit Enter: %appdata%\Slack
- Delete the folders named:
- Cache
- Code Cache
- Local Storage
- Session Storage
- Delete Slack's settings
- In the same Slack folder, delete storage and workspace.json if available.
- Restart Slack and check if the workspace is gone.
Method 3: Reinstall Slack
If the workspace persists, uninstalling Slack and reinstalling it fresh will clear all stored workspaces.
- Press Win + R, type: appwiz.cpl
-
and hit Enter.
- Find Slack, right-click, and select Uninstall.
- After uninstalling, go to: %appdata%
-
and delete any Slack folder remaining.
- Reinstall Slack from the official website: https://slack.com/downloads/windows.
After completing these steps, the removed workspace should no longer appear in Slack.
