User reports OpenAI memories keep coming back after full deletion
Equivalent_Pride537 · reddit · 2026-08-19
A user reports serious problems deleting OpenAI's new memories: after clearing individual memories and eventually nuking everything, memories consistently return once conversations about deleting them are removed. They tried phone, desktop app, and web — all failed. Asking to delete memory in a regular chat makes the model just stop responding and the memory icon disappear, and they later received a warning like "to protect your data we limited the deleting option." The user questions the legality or ethics of this and jokes their only consolation is burning tokens so OpenAI loses money on them. Single-user report, unverified.
