Uses unofficial, undocumented claude.ai web endpoints inferred from network requests, so it may break if Anthropic changes the web app.

Released under the MIT license, so anyone can use, modify, and share the script freely.

In plain English

This is a small JavaScript script that deletes all your conversations on claude.ai at once. It was created because the "Select all" button on the claude.ai recents page only selects the conversations visible on screen, not all conversations in your account. To use it, you open claude.ai/recents in your browser, open the browser's developer console (press F12 and click the Console tab), paste in the contents of the script, and press Enter. A confirmation dialog appears once per organization in your account. The deletions happen gradually over several minutes, and you need to keep the tab open until the console shows that it is finished. The README notes clearly that this script uses internal claude.ai web endpoints that were inferred from watching the browser's network requests. These are not public or officially documented APIs, so the script may stop working if Anthropic changes how the web app works internally. The project is not affiliated with Anthropic. The script is released under the MIT license. It is a one-file solution with no installation required beyond pasting it into the browser console.
