How to manage ChatGPT personal memory:

Managing Your Memories
Viewing Stored Memories
The memory management page shows all facts ChatGPT has learned about you. Each memory is displayed as a separate item with an X button to delete it.
Deleting Specific Memories
Click the X icon next to any memory to remove it. ChatGPT will immediately forget that information. You can delete as many individual memories as you want.
Turning Memory Off
Use the Memory toggle switch to disable the feature entirely. When memory is off, ChatGPT will not store new memories, but existing memories remain (unless you delete them manually).
Clearing All Memories
To clear all memories at once, use the "Clear ChatGPT's memory" option in the memory management settings. This is irreversible—make sure to back up important memories first.
