chrome://extensionsand enable Developer mode. - Click Load unpacked and select the folder containing
manifest.json.
Keep that folder available: Chrome loads the extension from it.
- Sign in at
https://chatgpt.com. With that tab active, click the ChatGPTCleaner toolbar button and keep the source tab open. - Wait for conversation and Project loading to finish.
- Protect chats you want to keep, then filter and select conversations to delete.
- Review the eligible deletion count and confirm.
Deletion rate controls how often attempts start, including retries. Chats at once limits simultaneous operations; the rate setting still controls when they start.
Pause lets you resume the queue. Stop ends it after already-started operations finish. Started operations may also finish after Pause or closing the manager. Closing or reloading the manager does not automatically resume the queue.
Deletion is permanent. Review the confirmation carefully. Project and locally protected conversations are excluded, even if selected. Use Refresh before confirming if Project membership may have changed, and do not switch the source tab's ChatGPT account or workspace during a run.
ChatGPTCleaner builds a deletion plan from the successfully loaded conversation and Project lists. It excludes Project conversations and locally protected IDs. Start, Resume, and Retry recheck local protection; they cannot add conversations to the confirmed set. Results update the local list without an automatic refresh.
