Archiving a channel removes it from the list of active conversations in your Slack workspace. The channel isn’t open for new activity, but the history is retained for easy browsing and searching.
When a channel is archived, here's what you can expect:
The channel name will have the archive icon next to it.
All members can still browse the conversation history in Slack.
Messages from the archived channel will still appear in search results.
Note: You can delete public channels (except for the #general channel), if you'd prefer.
