10. Unlinking
Channels can be unlinked again like this:
```
unlink --room !the-matrix:room.id
```
Unlinking doesn't only disconnect the bridge, but also makes the slackbot leave the bridged matrix room. So in case you want to re-link later, don't forget to re-invite the slackbot into this room again.
## Troubleshooting
* as always, check the logs:
`journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-slack`
* linking: "Room is now pending-name"
This typically means that you haven't used the correct slack channel id. Unlink the room and recheck 'Determine the "channel ID"' from above.
* Messages work from M to S, but not the other way around
Check you logs, if they say something like
`WARN SlackEventHandler Ignoring message from unrecognised slack channel id : %s (%s) <the channel id> <some other id>`
then unlink your room, reinvite the bot and re-link it again. This may particularly hit you, if you tried to unsuccessfully link
your room multiple times without unlinking it after each failed attempt.
