Open ChatGPT and look at the sidebar. Somewhere in there is a real conversation you want to keep, buried under two hundred that were a single question, a typo, or a thing you asked once in March.
Deleting them is possible today. It is also one conversation at a time, with a confirmation each, which is why the list keeps growing.
The problem is the number of clicks, not the feature
This is a friction problem rather than a missing capability. Anything that takes three actions and a confirmation, repeated two hundred times, is a thing people intend to do and never do. The sidebar then stops being navigable, and you start scrolling past your own work.
What Bulk Delete does
- Adds a selection mode to the conversation sidebar on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
- Lets you pick many conversations and clear them in one workflow instead of one at a time.
- Keeps the action in your browser. It does not send conversation data to ZENPRODUCTS.
- Needs no account. Install from the Chrome Web Store and use it.
- Stores only your Bulk Delete Mode preference, and nothing from your chat history.
Why an extension that reads chats should be boring
A browser extension with access to your AI conversations is exactly the kind of thing that should have the least interesting privacy policy possible. This one works locally, has no backend to sync to, and asks for no account, because the alternative is asking you to trust a server with the entire contents of your chat history in exchange for saving some clicks.
The privacy policy is short for the same reason.
What it will not do
- Chrome only. There is no Safari or Firefox version.
- It works with the sidebars of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini as they are built today. Those interfaces change, and an extension that reads them has to keep up.
- Deletion happens in the service, and what each provider retains after that is their policy rather than ours.
It is free on the Chrome Web Store.
