Microsoft Copilot is a smart helper that learns about you. When you sign in with your Microsoft account, it remembers things from your chats. For example, it might remember that you like bullet points or prefer Python programming.

Why does this matter? Copilot uses these memories to give you faster, more personal help next time.

What happens when you delete memories? Copilot will forget those details. This helps protect your privacy or lets you reset your preferences.
