Deleting a Companion
How to permanently remove a companion you no longer need.
If you no longer need a companion, you can delete it. But please be careful - this action cannot be undone.
How to Delete
- Open the companion's settings page
- Click the companion pill in the header to open its profile popup
- Scroll to the bottom of the popup and click Delete Companion
- A confirmation dialog will appear asking "Are you sure you want to delete this companion?"
- Click Proceed to permanently delete the companion
Deleting a companion is permanent and irreversible. All of the companion's data will be removed, including:
- All settings (name, personality, voice, skills, etc.)
- All uploaded resources (documents, videos, images)
- All knowledge sections and links
- All conversation history
- All analytics and insights data
There is no way to recover a deleted companion. If you are unsure, consider making it private instead - that way it is hidden from the public but you can always bring it back.
The Other Way a Companion Gets Deleted
Deleting it yourself isn't the only path - if your subscription lapses, companions are deleted automatically. When this is about to happen, a red banner appears on the companion warning: "Subscription Ended - [Companion] and its N chats with M users will be permanently deleted," with a Renew now link to your plan. Renewing before that point is the only way to stop it; once it happens, it's exactly as irreversible as deleting it yourself.
This is different from running out of credits, which only pauses a companion (with a Top up now link) rather than deleting it - see Billing for the difference between the two states.
