From creating memes to extracting data from PDFs, the applications of ChatGPT are numerous. However, during conversations, we may end up sharing personal details, which get stored on OpenAI’s servers. If safeguarding this data is of utmost priority for a user, it is possible to delete one’s entire chat history or delete the entire OpenAI account, and this article will explain four ways that this can be done. It is important to export the conversations before deleting them.
Deleting chats and conversation history has become as important as creating them – especially when it comes to ChatGPT. Remove individual chat histories using the web interface or delete an entire conversation history in one go. Temporarily turn off chat history as well to avoid storage on OpenAI’s servers.
If a user wants to part ways completely from ChatGPT, deleting their OpenAI/ChatGPT account is not a complex process. It can be done through theOpenAI website or by writing an email directly for a delete request.
In either case, the account will be deleted within two to four weeks. For those who are unable to log in through the ChatGPT website, requests can be sent through email.
