How to Delete items from your Copilot conversation history
Deleting items from your Copilot conversation history lets you manage your privacy and keep chats organized.
Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant built into Windows and Edge. It saves your past questions and answers so you can see them again later.
Clearing this history is important, especially if you use Copilot on a computer others might use. This stops private information from being seen by accident. It also helps clean up your chat list for easier use.
Delete individual Copilot conversations by finding the chat, clicking or right-clicking the three dots next to it, and selecting “Delete.” Confirm if prompted, as deleted conversations are permanently removed. You can also clear your entire history.
Why Delete Copilot Conversations?
Deleting Copilot conversations helps keep your chat history tidy and private, particularly after finishing a project or if you have privacy concerns.
How to Delete a Single Copilot Conversation
Specific chats can be deleted. The exact steps might vary slightly depending on where you’re using Copilot:
Find the Conversation
First, find the conversation you want to remove. Scroll through your history until you locate the specific chat. Be careful not to delete the wrong one!
Start the Deletion
To delete Copilot history, locate the chat you want to remove. Look for three small dots next to the conversation. Clicking these dots reveals the option to delete it.
- On copilot.com: Look for three small dots (an ellipsis) to the right of the conversation. Click these dots.
- In Copilot for Windows or macOS: Right-click on the conversation you want to remove. A menu will pop up.
- In the Copilot mobile app: Like the website, you will see three dots next to the conversation. Tap these dots.
Confirm Deletion
Before permanently deleting your Copilot history, the application will ask for confirmation. This step is important because deleted conversations cannot be recovered. Always double-check before confirming.
