Microsoft Copilot is a smart helper that works with your Microsoft account to make your computer tasks easier. It remembers some details from your chats and activities to give you better, more personal help.

Sometimes, you might want to clear what Copilot remembers about you. This guide will show you simple steps to delete all or some of your saved memories from Copilot.

What is Copilot Memory?

When you use Copilot and sign in with your Microsoft account, it remembers things like your preferences and past conversations. For example, if you tell Copilot you like bullet points or prefer Python programming, it saves that info to help you faster next time.

Deleting memory means Copilot will forget those details, which can protect your privacy or reset your preferences.
