Alternative solutions could be migrating files out to another SharePoint site collection and attaching these more private locations to a team channel tab or using cloud storage options on the file tab. You can customize the permission on that site and content how you want.
And last you could create new channels that are private that would contain the files that need to stay private but that new person would not have chat access to the channel nor files. So this may not work.
