ChatGPT memory bug: deleted memories return after restart
spiralof5 · reddit · 2026-08-17
A user reports a critical bug in ChatGPT's memory feature: hallucinated memories (e.g., incorrect marital status or job) persist even after deletion. Despite deleting memories and temporarily disabling the feature, the false information reappears when re-enabled. This suggests the deletion mechanism fails to truly purge data, potentially leading to persistent persona contamination or misinformation.
