The short answer

Yes. Rebuilt or re-downloaded automatically when needed.

What is it?

Data the Slack app stores through a service worker so it starts quickly and copes with brief offline moments: app code and cached workspace resources. It can grow to hundreds of MB or more.

What happens if you delete it?

Rebuilt on the next launch; Slack may start more slowly and needs a connection the first time.

How to remove it properly

Quit Slack, then move ~/Library/Application Support/Slack/Service Worker/CacheStorage to the Trash.

Quit the app that uses it, then move it to the Trash. Empty the Trash when you’re sure.
