How to Delete Your Entire Copilot Conversation History
Clearing your entire Microsoft Copilot conversation history deletes every past chat log that Copilot has saved since its launch in late 2023. Copilot is Microsoft’s built-in AI helper tool in Windows 11 that answers questions and writes text, but it keeps a record of all your chats by default.
Wiping these old logs protects your privacy and gives you a fresh start. Once you clear the history, future AI responses will not use your past chats for context.
Sign in to your Microsoft Account privacy dashboard. Navigate to the “Copilot app activity history” section. Select “Delete all activity history” and confirm the permanent deletion of all your past Copilot conversations.
How to Delete Your Copilot History
Step 1Sign In to Your Microsoft Account
Copilot conversations link directly to a Microsoft Account. Deleting the history requires visiting the Microsoft Account activity page.
Open a web browser and head to the Microsoft privacy dashboard. Sign in using the same Microsoft Account tied to Copilot.
Step 2Find Your Copilot Activity History
Locate the section labeled “Copilot app activity history” on the privacy dashboard by scrolling down the page.
On the Microsoft Account privacy page, search for a section like “Copilot app activity history” or another menu mentioning AI or Copilot. Scrolling down or clicking through menus helps find this area.
Step 3Start the Deletion Process
Click the “Delete all activity history” button inside the “Copilot app activity history” section to remove every past chat.
Find the "Delete all activity history" button inside the "Copilot app activity history" section. Clicking it removes every past conversation to protect privacy.
Step 4Confirm Your Choice
To finish the process when you delete Copilot history, a confirmation box pops up on your screen. Read this message carefully to make sure you want to erase all your past chats, then click the Delete or Confirm button to permanently clear everything.
The confirmation message asks to verify the deletion of all Copilot activity history. Read the message carefully, then click the confirm option, such as "Delete" or "Confirm."
