How to delete chats in Character.AI

While many people have had fun creating personalities that mimic notable figures, including Super Mario and Elon Musk, several other characters allow you to explore more in-depth topics, including speaking with psychologists, life coaches, dating and job interview practices. With such characters, you might find yourself entering personal information that you don’t want to keep long term.

In addition to alleviating privacy concerns, deleting chatbot service chats can also help you manage space on your device, delete personal data from your device if you share or sell it, or even just allow you to start fresh with a new conversation.
