The official place to post these are the GitHub OpenAI Codex issues tab with the label `enhancement`.\n\nUsing ChatGPT to find the closest open related enhancement find this\n\ngithub.com/openai/codex\n\n####  Allow to delete threads in the Codex app\n\nopened 03:20PM - 27 Feb 26 UTC\n\n\n\n          CharlesIC\n        \n\nenhancement  app  User Request\n\n### What variant of Codex are you using? Codex macOS app ### What feature woul…d you like to see? ### Requested feature Allow to delete threads instead of just archiving them. ### Context At the moment I have to go to `~/.codex/archived_sessions/`, locate the file related to the thread I want to delete and manually delete it. I'd appreciate having the option to do that from the UI instead. ### Proposed solutions - A delete button showing in the UI next to the archive button in the Threads section of the sidebar - A delete option in the thread context menu below the \"Archive thread\" item - A button to delete a thread next to the unarchive button on the \"Settings/Archived threads\" screen ### Additional information <img width=\"232\" height=\"44\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88e24aba-10ea-4bb9-8ad6-d05368f3c364\" /> <img width=\"188\" height=\"248\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a646df23-12af-4199-8c55-2c0eebddacc9\" /> <img width=\"721\" height=\"167\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3aaaa926-b2b2-417c-824f-2ae4ae9cbd2c\" />\n\nIf this is the same issue then give it a thumbs up to let the OpenAI developers know this is important to you. If not you can search for other requested enhancements or create a new one.\n\nAlso see:\n\nCodex features are prioritized by votes in GitHub issues tab Codex\n\n> FYI We prioritize feature requests based on upvotes from the community. If a feature request doesn’t get enough upvotes, we’ll close it. It’s therefore important for a feature request to have a clear and compelling title and description. We also recommend that feature requests focus on the problem statement rather than a solution. Describe the use case and what problem you’d like to see solved. There are often multiple ways to address a given problem. Source Note: In GitHub feature request…",
