Channel, direct message or private group not found/User ID?

See original GitHub issue

I’m running slack-cleaner --token xx-xxx-xxx --message --direct U000000 --user U000001 --before 2018-08-01 user U000000 is my user ID (copied from slack, under user “userID”) and the U000001 person I have direct message with, this channel definitely exists but I’m getting direct message not found. Am I using the wrong userID? ie. should I use their email, not sure because there is no username on my slack channel ie “johndoe” the format is “john doe” and is a first/last name string

I’m not even able to delete private messages when specifying the user who i’ve chatted with. It just says user not found.

I see that slack deprecated usernames for UserIDs… I’m using userID’s and it doesnt seem to be able to find direct messages
