Delete user or channel

[Aizat]

Hi there! I have just installed Mattermost and been trying to play around with it. I encountered 2 main issues that I need help with.

1. Every time I try to unarchive a channel, the "save config" button just spinning for ages but did not apply the changes.
   Its a bummer that Mattermost does not have a direct method to delete a channel or user.

2. After some Googling, Mattermost CLI can delete a channel, or user. But due to my lack of knowledge, I have no idea how to use the command line here in the app terminal. But what I've tried:

root@e4cccd87-d627-4899-9fa4-b879fb03e83a:/app/code# sudo -u cloudron /app/code/bin/mattermost mmctl channel list myteam
Error: unknown command "mmctl" for "mattermost"
Run 'mattermost --help' for usage.

OR
in this case to delete a user:

root@e4cccd87-d627-4899-9fa4-b879fb03e83a:/app/code# sudo -u cloudron /app/code/bin/mattermost user delete user@example.com

Thanks in advance for the tips/help!

@aizat the first one seems like a packaging bug and the second one seems like a documentation bug. I am investigating....

@aizat So, the first one is a bug in mattermost UI. You can see that when you do some actions in the channels UI alone, there are some errors in the browser console. More importantly, I am able to do those actions like unarchive via the CLI just fine.

As for the CLI, this mmctl is a binary that you now have to run on your PC/Mac. You can download it here - https://github.com/mattermost/mmctl/releases . I have put a small note on how to use it here - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mattermost/#command-line-tool
