To remove someone from a Slack channel, open the channel and click the profile picture cluster in the top right. Only Workspace Owners and Admins can remove people from public channels by default, while any member can remove people from private channels; note that it is not possible to remove people from the #general channel. If you're also managing other platforms, you might need to remove bot from Discord to keep your servers tidy.

Remove a member on mobile with a slash command
On mobile, you can also type /remove @member in the message field of the channel and tap the paper plane icon to send the command. This method is a quick alternative when you want to remove someone from a slack channel without navigating through menus.
What happens after you remove someone
Slack will notify the person when they are removed from a channel. If a member or guest is removed from a private channel, they must be added back to rejoin it. If a guest is removed from a public channel, they must be added back to rejoin it.
