Character AI is an extremely popular platform that lets you create and interact with AI characters. However, it can be overwhelming if you've created too many characters, which is why you may want to delete some of them. Doing so can also help you streamline your projects and organize them much more efficiently. However, Character AI does not let you delete characters in the traditional sense, though you can make them inaccessible if you want.

Remove the character from recent chats

  1. Log in to your Character AI account.
  2. You will see the characters and their chats on the left. Hover the cursor next to the name of the character you want to delete and click on the three dots that appear.
  1. Then click on 'Remove from recents'. However, doing so will not permanently delete the character but only remove it from your recent chats.

Make the character inaccessible

You can also make the character completely inaccessible and change its visibility.

  1. Open the chat for the AI character you want to delete and click on the three dots on the top right.
  1. Then click on the three dots again that appear in the sidebar that slides out from the right.
  1. Then click on the 'Edit' button.
  1. Now you can scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on the Visibility button, and set the visibility to 'Private'.
  1. Finally, click on the 'Save changes' button.
Note: If you want, you can also edit the various sections, like the character name, tagline, and bio by entering random text or dashes and replacing the information you provided earlier. This will essentially make the character unusable.

Things to know

  • Currently, you cannot actually delete an AI character in Character AI so the closest option is to make the character unavailable as explained above.
  • If you wish to delete a character because you cannot use more characters, an alternative is to update and make changes to existing characters and reuse them as needed.
  • There is also the option to delete your account from Character AI, which is an extreme method but can help you out if the existing solutions are not enough.
