Last week I found myself in a awful predicament. Slack.app for Mac would not open and would hang when trying to load a Team. I searched the Internet and then looked for the files that held the Slack Settings myself in all the usual places (~/Library/Preferences, ~/Library/Application Support, etc.). After not having any luck I even at one point tried App Zapper to see if it could find the settings folder … No Luck!

If you’d previously asked Slack to download files to a folder other than Downloads, that won’t work anymore. We’re very sorry about that. The option to choose a different folder will return shortly. January 18, 2018. An important security update. Security updates are always important. This is one of those. Slack brings team communication and collaboration into one place so you can get more work done, whether you belong to a large enterprise or a small business. Download iphone x photos to mac. Check off your to-do list and move your projects forward by bringing the right people, conversations, tools, and information you need together.
After not finding anything I had somewhat decided that the only thing to do was to contact support. Support didn’t help a lot and told me to go into the app and click Help -> Reset Local Cache. This is a great tip for most things but there was one problem. The app would not stay unfrozen long enough for me to click on Help -> Reset Local Cache.
I told the guy in support this was the case and didn’t hear back from him because of the long weekend. I finally ended up just creating another user profile and fixing the issue that way (which sucked but I was due a format / reinstall anyway so I went ahead and did that while I was at it).

Tuesday support finally got back to me and had a solution that does in fact work. That file that I couldn’t find is in fact located in ~/Library/Containers. So while this post doesn’t help me I thought maybe it might fix someone else’s problem(s) that wanted to reset their slack settings and could not. Simple go to the ~/Library/Containers folder and delete the com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap folder. This will reset your preferences and any Team Data you have in Slack. Hope this helps someone else. https://burncart.weebly.com/blog/download-contacts-from-blackberry-to-mac.
