Archiving chats, Trash folder for deleted chats

Feature Request

Generally I don’t really want to permanently delete my chats in 90% of cases

So there should be a Trash they are moved to when deleted

Then deleting chats is safe and simple and you don’t have to worry about deleting something useful

There may be three deletion options:

  • Delete permanently (for chats you don’t want to save)

  • Trash (for chats that have no use but you may still want to search in them in the future to refind found stuff)

  • Archive (for useful chats you don’t need now)

    I agree, this is useful for chats that I don’t find useful right now but may unexpectedly come in handy in the future.

    100% needed in my opinion

  • Gold Pear

    Yup, I think archiving chats should be an option. Especially after threads, I have waaaay too many tabs open…

  • Azure Breeze

    I’d love to have this. I don’t like a cluttered sidebar and it would be nice to just archive the chats and be able to revisit them later.

  • Purple Teacup

    I see myself using the “Brench chat” feature a lot to rerun some prompts and each of them have interesting things, I would like to be able to archive the older ones (not delete) in case I want to compare in the furere.

    Rn I just have like 3 branches with the same name while I am trying to get the right thread, and I would like to hide the old ones without having to delete them to avoid confusion

    Yeah, i really need it!

    Merged request

    Trash bin which holds deleted threads for X amount of time then deleted

    It happened to me couple of time where i delete a thread but after a couple of days turns out i’ll need it again, this would resolve this issue.

    also thanks

    What annoys me right now is having a confirm dialog everytime I press delete for conversation I consider non important. Having a trash bin would make it possible for the X not to show a popup each time and just put it in the trash right away. When it’s a mistake, the person could recover from the bin.

      You can multi-select and delete from https://t3.chat/settings/history

      from the sidebar, if you shift+click the x button, you will not be prompted to confirm.

      Agreed that archive/recovery would be a nice improvement/addition.

      • Orange Pond

        Good to know, but not what I’m looking for. I’m not doing this in batch (it would be useful in that case I agree)

        Before making a new conversation, I consider if I care about the currently open one or not. If not, I prefer to delete it. The additional modal dialog is very intrusive.

        If you don’t want to remove it yet, making a small popup box besides where the X was would already be a massive improvement.

          In that case, the second suggestion I offered should help? By shift+clicking the button you will not be prompted and it will be immediately deleted.

          making a popver near the button instead of a modal could be a nice improve though as well.

            Ah! sorry, I somehow didn’t process the second sentence. Indeed it works, thanks! I don’t know if I ever saw such a pattern in an app in the past. Maybe it should be mentioned in the dialog/popup.

            Thanks a lot!
