Show HN: Script to bulk delete Claude chats from the web UI

Hacker News Top Tools

Summary

A script to bulk delete all Claude.ai conversations via browser console, useful for users who need to clear chat history quickly.

I haven&#x27;t found a way to delete all chats in bulk like you can on Chatgpt. With Claude, you have to scroll to the bottom, select everything, and delete. The problem is, if you have a lot of chats, it becomes impossible. I created this script. It does it alone. I hope it helps someone.<p>(conversations disappear from the UI slowly, over several minutes, and remember to keep the tab open until the console shows &quot;Finished&quot;, refreshing away from the page can stop the deletion process.)

Delete all your claude.ai conversations at once, i created it because the “Select all” button on /recents only covers the rows rendered on screen. This script calls the internal API instead, so it gets everything.

How to

  • Open https://claude.ai/recents and press F12Console
  • Paste the contents of delete-all.js, hit Enter
  • Confirm the dialog (one per organization)
  • ⚠️ Be patient: conversations disappear from the UI slowly, over several minutes; that’s normal
  • ⚠️ Keep the claude.ai tab open until the console shows Finished; closing, refreshing, or navigating away from the page can stop the deletion process.
