Problem Statement
Problem
In the Claude desktop app (Code tab), sessions can only be deleted or archived one at a time. After a few weeks of use I have 30+ sessions, many of them throwaway scratch sessions or duplicates, and cleaning them up takes many repeated clicks and confirmations.
Environment
- Claude desktop app, Code tab, macOS
- ~34 local sessions
Proposed Solution
Proposed solution
- Multi-select in the session sidebar (checkboxes, or Shift/Cmd-click)
- A bulk action bar with "Archive" and "Delete" for the selected sessions
- One confirmation dialog listing the affected sessions
- Optional: "Select all older than N days" or "Select all in this group"
Alternative Solutions
Alternatives considered
Asking Claude to delete sessions through its session-management tool works, but a direct UI option would be faster and doesn't need a model round trip.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
