If you want to delete Grok chats without removing your entire history, you can delete individual conversations from the Grok app or website. The steps are slightly different depending on where you use Grok.

To remove a single chat from the Grok mobile app:

  • Open the Grok app and tap the menu from the top left.

  • Find the conversation you want to remove.

  • Long press the conversation you want to remove and select "Delete Conversation".

To delete Grok history on X:

  • Open X and go to "Settings and privacy".

What Happens After You Delete Grok History?

Deleting Grok history removes conversations from your visible chat history. However, removing chats from your account view and deleting data from xAI systems are separate processes.

According to xAI, deleted conversations are removed from its systems within 30 days unless they need to be retained for security, legal, or compliance reasons.
