Hi @cold wedge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It sounds like you’re looking for how to delete chats (the “trash” function) in ChatGPT. Here are the main options:

Delete a single chat (web)

1. In the chat history sidebar, hover over the conversation.
2. Click the three dots (⋯).
3. Select Delete and confirm. [Delete & archive chats]

This removes it from your view immediately and schedules it for permanent deletion from OpenAI systems within 30 days (subject to legal/security exceptions). [Chat retention]

Delete all chats (web)

1. Go to Settings > Data controls.
2. Use Delete all chats. [Delete all chats]

Delete a shared link

• On the conversation, click the trashcan icon; or
• Open the shared-link modal and click the delete icon → Delete link. [Shared links; Shared links FAQ]

Delete chats on mobile apps

• Android: Open the menu, find the chat, press and hold the title, tap Delete. [Android delete]
• iOS: Open the menu, find the chat, press and hold the title, tap Delete. [iOS delete]

Deleted chats cannot be recovered.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
