Taken from : https://www.shiftedup.com/2014/11/13/how-to-bulk-remove-files-from-slack

1. Get a token from the Slack API page (https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens?)
2. Copy the script above and save it as slack.py
3. Plug your token in the code (using the _token variable)
4. Install Python in your system if you don't have it already
5. Install the (awesome) requests library
6. Execute your script by running "python slack.py" (without the quotes)

import requests
import json
import calendar
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

_token = "YOUR TOKEN GOES HERE"
_domain = "YOUR SUB DOMAIN HERE"

        date = str(calendar.timegm((datetime.now() + timedelta(-30))
            .utctimetuple()))
        data = {"token": _token, "ts_to": date}
        response = requests.post(files_list_url, data = data)
        if len(response.json()["files"]) == 0:
            break

            timestamp = str(calendar.timegm(datetime.now().utctimetuple()))
            delete_url = "https://" + _domain + ".slack.com/api/files.delete?t=" + timestamp
            requests.post(delete_url, data = {
                "token": _token, 
                "file": f["id"],
