Allow selective deletion of individual conversations from history

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

All conversation history is stored in a single ~/.claude/history.jsonl file. There is no CLI command, keyboard shortcut, or UI gesture to delete individual conversations. The only option is to delete the entire file, which wipes all history.

Proposed Solution

• A way to selectively delete one or more conversations from history, either via:
• A CLI command (e.g. claude history delete <session-id>)
• A keyboard shortcut in the Ctrl+R history view (e.g. Delete/Backspace on a selected entry)

Use Case Example

Users accumulate many conversations over time and want to keep their history clean without losing everything. Sensitive or irrelevant conversations should be removable without manual file editing.
