Feature request for product/service
Chat
Describe the request
In a recent update, the chat context menu no longer shows the Delete option and only allows Archive. While archiving is useful, removing the ability to delete individual chats makes history management less flexible.
Previously, users could:
- Keep chats in history if needed
- Delete specific chats when they were no longer useful
This already allowed users to revisit old chats without requiring an archive system, so replacing Delete with Archive feels redundant and reduces control.
Currently, permanent deletion requires using the Command Palette command
Developer: Delete Old Chats…, which deletes chats based on age rather than allowing users to remove specific ones. This workflow is much less intuitive and more time-consuming than the previous per-chat delete option.
Suggestion:
Please support both options in the chat menu:
- Archive: for users who want to keep chats but hide them
- Delete: for users who want to permanently remove specific chats
This would preserve flexibility and let users choose the workflow that fits their preferences.
