### Introduction | |
This script automates the process of deleting conversation histories from the Claude AI platform. It performs two main tasks: | |
1. **Extract Chat IDs:** | |
- The script looks through your recent conversations on the Claude AI platform and gathers the unique IDs of these conversations. | |
2. **Delete Conversations:** | |
- After collecting the chat IDs, the script sends requests to the Claude AI server to delete each conversation one by one. It includes a short delay between each deletion to avoid overwhelming the server. | |
### How to Use | |
1. **Log into the Claude AI platform.** | |
2. **Go to the [Claude AI Recents](https://claude.ai/recents) page.** | |
3. **Open your browser's developer console (usually by pressing `F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I`).** | |
4. **Copy and paste the script below into the console and press `Enter`.** | |
5. **Be careful, it will also delete your existing chat.** | |
The script will automatically extract the IDs of your recent conversations and delete them for you, providing real-time logging of its actions. | |
### The Script | |
```javascript | |
// Function to extract chat IDs | |
async function extractChatIds() { | |
console.log("Extracting chat IDs..."); | |
const ul = document.querySelector('ul.flex.flex-col.gap-3'); | |
if (!ul) { | |
console.error('The specified ul element was not found.'); | |
return []; | |
} | |
const anchors = ul.querySelectorAll('a'); | |
const chatIds = Array.from(anchors).map(anchor => { | |
const href = anchor.getAttribute('href'); | |
const match = href.match(/\/chat\/([^/]+)/); | |
return match ? match[1] : null; | |
}).filter(Boolean); | |
console.log('Extracted chat IDs:', chatIds); | |
return chatIds; | |
} | |
// Function to delete a single conversation | |
async function deleteConversation(conversationId) { | |
const orgId = 'ee679dba-8c8b-49fc-a787-e4dfd6258143'; | |
const url = `https://claude.ai/api/organizations/${orgId}/chat_conversations/${conversationId}`; | |
console.log(`Attempting to delete conversation: ${conversationId}`); | |
try { | |
const response = await fetch(url, { | |
method: 'DELETE', | |
headers: { | |
'Content-Type': 'application/json', | |
'anthropic-client-sha': 'unknown', | |
'anthropic-client-version': 'unknown' | |
}, | |
}); | |
if (!response.ok) { | |
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`); | |
} | |
console.log(`Successfully deleted conversation: ${conversationId}`); | |
} catch (error) { | |
console.error(`Failed to delete conversation ${conversationId}:`, error); | |
} | |
} | |
// Function to delete all conversations with a delay | |
async function deleteAllConversations(conversationIds) { | |
console.log(`Deleting ${conversationIds.length} conversations...`); | |
for (const id of conversationIds) { | |
await deleteConversation(id); | |
// Add a delay to avoid rate limiting | |
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); | |
} | |
console.log("Task completed, all conversations deleted."); | |
} | |
// Main function to extract chat IDs and delete them | |
async function main() { | |
const conversationIds = await extractChatIds(); | |
if (conversationIds.length > 0) { | |
await deleteAllConversations(conversationIds); | |
} else { | |
console.log('No chat IDs found to delete.'); | |
} | |
} | |
// Run the main function | |
main(); | |
