How to delete characters in Character.ai app? Possible ways

Character.ai is a popular app that assists users in creating unique chatbot characters. However, if you have created a character that you no longer want, deleting it might not be as straightforward as you think. In this article, we will discuss a few possible ways to delete characters in the Character AI app.

Firstly, it is important to note that there is no direct option to delete a character in the Character AI app. However, there are a few workaround options available.

One possible way to "delete" a character is to hide the chat. Users can tap and hold on a chat and choose to hide the character from their view. While this does not delete the character entirely, it does prevent it from appearing in the user's chat feed.

Another option is to make the character private. Ypu can select any character, and change its visibility to private. This option will make the character only available to the user and not publicly displayed. While this is not ideal if you want to completely remove a character, it is a potential workaround until a deletion option becomes available.

Finally, the safest option to remove the character completely is to remove the account. Users can do this by tapping on "Remove Account" in the bottom right corner of the app, and starting from scratch. This option will most likely delete all the characters, along with the account. You should make sure to have all your data saved before proceeding with this option.

It is unclear why the creators of Character.ai did not include a feature to delete characters directly in the app. If these options do not work for you, the best course of action might be to reach out to the support team to understand if there is any other way to delete a character permanently.

In conclusion, while there is no direct way to delete characters in Character.ai, the options mentioned above allow users to make characters private, hide them or remove them with some effort. Hopefully, in the future, developers will add this much-needed feature directly to the app.
