The Day I Flushed My ChatGPT History

How one careless click wiped out months of conversations

Today, I tried ChatGPT’s new product, ChatGPT ATLAS, an AI browser that lets you query any webpage directly within it. It felt exciting.

But soon, I noticed it created a new chat every time I asked something on a site.

My sidebar filled up fast, and as someone who hates clutter, I went looking for a way to clean things up.

Then I saw it: Delete Chats. Thinking it would only remove those temporary threads, I clicked it without hesitation.

That single click erased everything, including all my project discussions, notes, and creative drafts from the past year.

Gone in an instant. Irreversible.

So yes, I quite literally flushed my entire ChatGPT history.

Now my workspace is empty again, a cleaned slate. A new beginning awaits me tomorrow.
