How to Delete items from your Copilot conversation history
Copilot conversation history is the saved list of past chats and questions stored by Microsoft’s AI assistant in Windows and Edge. Deleting items from this history helps protect your privacy on shared computers and keeps your sidebar tidy by removing chats you no longer need.
Removing past chats takes just a few clicks inside the Copilot panel, and you can delete individual conversations or wipe your entire history at once.
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.

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
Scroll through your sidebar history until you spot the specific chat you want gone.
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. Take a moment to double-check your selection because deleted chats cannot be recovered.
