Feature Request
Use Case: Users accumulate hundreds of conversations over time. Many become obsolete (test chats, abandoned threads, duplicates). Currently, deletion requires opening each conversation individually and deleting one-by-one.
Problem:
- No multi-select capability in conversation list
- No batch delete operation
- Users with 200+ conversations face tedious manual cleanup
- No way to filter/sort conversations for bulk operations
- Conversation list becomes unmanageable over time
Proposed Solution:
Add batch operations to the Claude.ai conversation list:
- Checkbox selection mode (select all / select some)
- Batch delete selected conversations
- Optional: Filter by date range before selection
- Optional: Search within conversation list
- Confirmation dialog showing count before permanent deletion
Benefit:
- Reduces conversation management from hours to minutes
- Enables users to maintain organized chat history
- Supports privacy cleanup (remove sensitive conversations)
- Improves UX for power users
Related: Issue #18412 (Bulk export) - these features complement each other for full conversation lifecycle management.
