How to Delete Copilot Memory

What is Copilot Memory?

Copilot memory saves details from your past chats to deliver more relevant, tailored responses. The AI assistant references up to 30 previous conversations to track your ongoing preferences.

Saved conversations help deliver quicker, more personalized assistance. Past details remain stored across those previous sessions to guide future interactions.

Clearing this data forces the artificial intelligence to forget specific details. Users wipe these records to protect personal privacy or reset preferences entirely.
