Delete a channel

alert-warning

To delete a channel, you need to be its last remaining member (also the channel admin).

You can ask channel members to voluntarily leave the channel or manually remove them from the channel. When members leave (or are removed from) a channel, the last remaining member becomes the channel admin, and they can delete the channel.
