Feature Request: Bulk Delete for Chats
Hi @Marcel_Bauer, welcome in the community
Support from my side: better chat management would definitely help usability.
One important note: @OpenAI_Support, but yet in the #OpenAIHelpCenter now says there are already “archive all chats” and “delete all chats” options in Settings → Data controls. It also confirms that individual chats can be archived/deleted from the sidebar, and deleted chats are scheduled for permanent deletion within 30 days.
Official references:

Data export / backup: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7260999-how-do-i-export-my-chatgpt-history-and-data�
So from my perspective, the remaining UX gap is not “delete everything,” but a true multi-select / checkbox workflow for deleting or archiving some chats in bulk. That would be much more practical for large histories than only one-by-one actions or all-at-once cleanup.
Best wishes, many good outcomes
