How do I remove (delete) a session. I am not looking for /reset or /new.

Let me verify the docs path and the actual session commands before I answer.

Short answer: there is no built-in “delete this specific session” command right now.

What exists today:

• /new or /reset = start a fresh session for the same chat key
• openclaw sessions cleanup = prune old/orphaned sessions, not a specific one
• Manual delete on the gateway host = the real way to remove one session

Manual path:

1. Stop the gateway
2. Edit
   ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json
   and remove the session entry
3. Delete the matching transcript file:
   ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/<sessionId>.jsonl
4. Start the gateway again

The docs explicitly say the session store is safe to edit/delete entries:

• https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/session
• https://docs.openclaw.ai/reference/session-management-compaction
• https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/sessions

If you want, I can also show the exact steps for finding the right sessionId first.
