Problem Statement
Once an Artifact has been published from a Claude Code session, there is no way to delete or unpublish it:
- The
Artifacttool available to the model can only publish/redeploy — there is no delete operation. The closest workaround is redeploying an empty stub page over it, which still leaves the URL and the gallery entry alive. - The artifact link stays pinned in the bar below the chat prompt box for the rest of the session, with no way to dismiss it.
Proposed Solution
- A delete/unpublish operation for artifacts, available both to the model (Artifact tool) and to the user.
- A way to dismiss the pinned artifact link from the bar below the prompt box.
Alternative Solutions
Redeploying a blank page over the artifact to wipe its content. This is not removal: the URL keeps resolving, the gallery entry remains, and the pinned link stays in the CLI for the session.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
- Ask Claude to build an HTML report; it publishes it as an Artifact.
- Decide you don't want it published after all.
- Currently: no way to remove it — the best you get is blanking the content, and the link stays pinned under the prompt box.
- With this feature: delete the artifact and the pinned link disappears.
