Delete Your AI Companion Data: Step-by-Step by Platform

I get it. AI companion apps are weirdly personal. You tell it things you would not put in a group chat. You vent. You flirt. You talk about your day. And after a while you suddenly think, wait… where is all of this stored?

This guide is here for that moment.

Below is a step by step, platform by platform walkthrough to delete (or at least reduce) the data AI companion apps keep about you. Chat history, memories, voice stuff, images, account data, subscriptions. The real world version of “please forget I said that”.

Also, quick note before we start. Some apps say “delete” but mean “deactivate”. Some delete your chats but keep transaction logs. Some keep backups for a while. So I will call out the common gotchas as we go.

If you like guides like this, linzhenlin.com has more practical, app focused posts around AI girlfriend apps and digital companionship. Not hype. Just the stuff you actually need when you are using these apps day to day.

First, a reality check (what you can and cannot delete)

Before we jump into buttons and menus, here is how these apps usually store data.

There are typically 4 buckets:

1. Local data on your phone (cache, downloaded media, drafts).
2. App account data (email, profile, preferences, personality settings).
3. Conversation content (chat logs, images you sent, voice notes).
4. Operational data (billing records, fraud logs, device identifiers, analytics).

Most platforms let you delete 2 and 3 easily. Some let you delete 1 easily. And 4 is the one they keep longer even after deletion; sometimes they are required to.

So when you “delete everything”, it often means:

• Your profile and chat content becomes inaccessible in the app.
• Your account is removed or anonymized.
• Some logs may remain for a retention period.

Still worth doing. It is not pointless. Just… set expectations.

If you’re using an AI companion chatbot or an AI girlfriend app, this guide will be particularly useful for you.

These apps allow for some level of customization and personalization – from changing your profile settings to adjusting personality traits in an AI that understands emotions. However, with great power comes great responsibility – hence the need to manage your data effectively.

For those who have been using an AI girlfriend chatbot or any other similar application extensively, it’s essential to know how to manage your digital footprint effectively.

In this journey of digital companionship with AI apps like AI girlfriend apps, remember that while these applications offer an immersive experience by allowing users to vent their feelings and share personal stories just like they would with a close friend or partner, it’s crucial to be mindful of what information you’re sharing and how it’s being stored.

Before you delete anything, do this quick checklist

You will save yourself a headache.

1) Cancel subscriptions first

If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, deleting the app account usually does not cancel billing.

• iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → cancel
• Android: Google Play → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → cancel

2) Export what you want to keep (if the app allows it)

Some people want a copy of chats. Totally your call. Just know that exports are also sensitive files once they are on your device.

3) Screenshot your user ID / email used for login

If you need to email support to delete data, you will need identifiers.

4) Remove permissions

Even before deletion, you can cut off access:

• Photos
• Microphone
• Contacts
• Location (if you enabled it)

This does not delete stored data, but it stops new collection.

Images you can add to this post (recommended)

Sprinkle a few screenshots or stock visuals so the article does not feel like a wall of text.

Use images like:

1. A generic “privacy settings” phone screen image
2. A “delete account” confirmation screen image
3. App Store subscriptions screen image

Example placeholders you can swap later:

I am going to cover the big ones people lump into “AI companion” plus adjacent AI chat platforms that often get used the same way.

If your exact app is not listed, use the “generic steps” section near the end. It works surprisingly often.

Replika: delete chats, memories, and account

Replika is one of the most personal-data heavy companions because it leans into “memory”, relationship status, diary style tracking, and long running context. It’s often used as an AI girlfriend app, which adds to its data-heavy nature.

Delete conversation history (in-app)

1. Open Replika
2. Go to Settings (gear icon)
3. Look for Chat history or Clear conversation (naming varies by version)
4. Confirm

If you do not see a clear chat option, move to the account deletion route. Some versions restrict chat clearing and push you toward full deletion.

Delete “memories” (important)

1. Open Replika
2. Tap your Replika profile / Memory
3. Review saved memory items
4. Delete individual memories (if there is no “delete all”)

This is the part most people miss. Clearing the chat does not always wipe saved memory snippets.

Delete your Replika account

1. Open Settings
2. Find Account or Profile
3. Choose Delete account
4. Follow the prompts and confirm

Extra: remove Replika data on your phone

• iPhone: delete app, then reinstall if needed, but also check iCloud backup behavior
• Android: Settings → Apps → Replika → Storage → Clear cache and Clear data, then uninstall

Subscription reminder: cancel through App Store/Google Play if you subscribed there.

Character.AI: delete chats and account data

Character.AI is not marketed as a girlfriend app exactly, but people use it that way constantly, similar to how they use Replika. And it can collect a lot of conversation content.

For those interested in more personalized interactions, platforms like Character.AI allow users to create their own AI character or even engage in AI character roleplay.

Delete individual chats on Character.AI

1. Log into Character.AI
2. Open the character
3. Find chat history here
4. Use the menu (often three dots) and select Delete messages or Delete chat

Depending on UI updates, the delete option may be per message or per chat thread.

Remove account (or request deletion)

1. Go to Settings
2. Look for Privacy, Account, or Data controls
3. Select Delete account if the option is visible

If no delete option is visible

1. Find Help / Support
2. Submit a request to delete your account and associated data

Character.AI’s UI changes frequently, so if you cannot locate a deletion option, submitting a support request is the reliable fallback.

What to watch for

• Chats may remain in backups for a period after deletion
• Public characters you created may be handled differently than private chat logs

Janitor AI: clear chats and delete account (where possible)

Janitor AI is more of a platform than an app, and your data footprint depends on how you log in and which backend model setup you use.

Clear conversations

1. Log in to Janitor AI
2. Go to your chat list
3. Delete conversations one by one using the trash icon or menu

Delete account

1. Go to Settings
2. Select Account
3. Select Delete account

If no direct deletion button is available, submit a request through the support route instead.

Exploring AI Character Roleplay with Candy AI Girlfriend

For those interested in a different experience, platforms like Candy AI Girlfriend offer unique roleplay opportunities where users can interact with AI characters in a more personalized manner.

Extra privacy note (important)

If you used Janitor AI with third-party APIs or proxies, your chat content might also be logged on:

• the model provider side
• the proxy side
• the browser side (cookies, local storage)

So do the browser cleanup section later. Do not skip it.

---

Chai: delete chats and request full deletion if needed

Chai is another one people use as an AI companion. It is chat heavy, sometimes voice heavy, and the settings can feel buried.

Delete chats

1. Open Chai
2. Go to your chat list
3. Long press the chat (or open menu)
4. Choose Delete

Delete account

1. Open Settings
2. Find Account
3. Choose Delete account (if available)

If not available:

• use the in-app Help or email support with a deletion request

Extra

After deleting, also revoke permissions in your phone settings and clear local storage before uninstall.

Paradot: clear conversation, memories, and account

Paradot leans into “relationship” + persistent memory too, so you want to hit both chats and memory items.

Clear chat

1. Open Paradot
2. Go to chat settings inside the conversation
3. Choose Clear conversation (or similar)

Delete memory items

1. Go to Profile or Memory
2. Remove saved entries manually if there is no bulk delete

Delete account

1. Settings
2. Account
3. Delete

If you do not see it, support request. Pattern repeats, yeah.

For those who are looking for an alternative AI companion with a more user-friendly interface, you might want to consider exploring options like AI Chat Online.

Nomi (by Glimpse): delete chats, reset companion, delete account

Nomi is designed to feel emotionally continuous, so it has a deeper “persona” layer.

Reset or delete conversation

1. Open Nomi
2. Find Settings for the specific Nomi or the app profile
3. Look for Reset conversation, Clear chat, or Delete Nomi (if you created multiple)

Delete account

1. Settings
2. Account management
3. Delete account

Tip

If you are not ready to delete your whole account, a “reset Nomi” can reduce stored context. But it is not the same as full deletion. If you want out, do the account deletion too.

---

Kindroid: clear chat, delete “backstory”, delete account

Kindroid has a strong customization layer: backstory, key memories, personality, scenario. That stuff matters as much as the chat log.

Remove personal setup content first (optional but smart)

1. Open Kindroid
2. Open your companion settings
3. Delete or overwrite your backstory, key memories, custom instructions, and any uploaded images

Even if you plan to delete the account, doing this first reduces exposure if you get stuck waiting on a deletion request.

Clear chats

1. Go to the conversation
2. Use chat options → clear history

Delete account

1. Settings
2. Account
3. Delete

If the option is missing, email support.

Google Gemini: delete activity, then delete account data (as far as possible)

Gemini is not an “AI girlfriend app”, but people use it for emotional support and intimate chat all the time. And Google accounts mean lots of linked data.

Delete Gemini activity

1. Go to myactivity.google.com
2. Find Gemini Apps Activity (or search for Gemini activity controls)
3. Choose to delete today, delete a custom range, or delete all time
4. Optionally set auto-delete to prevent future build-up

Turn off activity saving

1. Open Google Activity Controls
2. Toggle off Gemini activity saving (if available in your region or account)

What you cannot fully delete

If you keep your Google account, you cannot remove Gemini entirely, but you can delete and limit the stored activity tied to it.

ChatGPT (OpenAI): delete chats, turn off training, delete account

ChatGPT gets used as a companion constantly. So yes, it belongs here.

Delete individual chats

1. Open ChatGPT
2. In the sidebar, hover or tap the chat menu
3. Select Delete chat

Disable training on your content (important)

1. Go to Settings
2. Open Data controls
3. Turn off “Improve the model for everyone” (wording may vary)

This reduces how your content is used for training. It does not retroactively delete everything, but it helps.

Delete your OpenAI account

1. Go to Settings
2. Open Account or Data controls
3. Select Delete account and confirm

If you have an active subscription, cancel it first through the platform you used to subscribe.

Discord (for companion bots): delete messages and revoke bot access

A lot of AI girlfriend or roleplay companions live inside Discord via bots.

Delete your messages

• You can delete your own messages manually in each channel or DM.
• For bulk deletion, there is no official one click method. Be careful with third party tools because those can be against Discord rules.

Remove bot access

1. Server Settings (if you have perms) or leave the server
2. In Authorized Apps, remove any bot or integration you authorized

Delete your Discord account (optional)

User Settings → Account → Delete

Discord will still retain some logs for abuse and security reasons, but your profile is removed.

---

If your app is not listed above, do this in order.

Step 1: Clear chats inside the app

Look for:

• Clear conversation
• Delete chats
• Reset companion
• Delete messages

If you only see “reset”, do it anyway. Then proceed.

Step 2: Delete stored memory or profile fields

Look for:

• Memory
• Facts about you
• Notes
• Relationship status
• Profile details
• Bio

Delete anything personal. Or overwrite it with blanks if deletion is not supported.

Step 3: Delete the account

Look for:

• Settings → Account → Delete account
• Settings → Privacy → Delete account

If there is no button, go to Step 4.

Step 4: Send a deletion request to support

Keep it short, and include identifiers.

Template you can copy:

Subject: Request to delete my account and personal data

Hi, please delete my account and associated personal data (chat logs, memories, uploads, profile data).

Account email/username: [your email or username]
Platform: [iOS/Android/Web]

Please confirm once completed. Thanks.

Step 5: Remove local data and uninstall

iPhone

1. Delete the app
2. Restart phone (optional, but it clears some temp state)
3. Recheck permissions in Settings → Privacy & Security (not always necessary after uninstall, but worth a look)

Android

1. Settings → Apps → [App Name] → Storage
2. Clear cache
3. Clear data
4. Uninstall

Step 6: Clean up browser data (if you used web versions)

This matters a lot for web based companions.

• Clear site cookies
• Clear site storage (local storage)
• Remove saved passwords (if shared device)
• Sign out everywhere (if the app offers it)

Chrome (desktop):

1. Settings → Privacy and security → Third party cookies / Site data
2. Search the site domain
3. Remove data

Don’t forget: your payment trail exists separately

Even after account deletion, your bank statement still shows the merchant name. App Store purchase history may still show “purchased”, even if cancelled.

That does not mean the app still has your chat logs. It just means billing records are their own world.

If you used:

• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Stripe
• PayPal

…those systems keep transaction records for compliance. You can sometimes delete your payment method from the app, but you cannot erase history like it never happened.

Quick “hardening” tips if you are not ready to delete everything

Sometimes you just want less data collected, not a full breakup.

1. Use a separate email for AI companion apps.
2. Do not enable contacts or location.
3. Avoid sending face photos or IDs. Sounds obvious. People still do it.
4. Turn off microphone permissions unless you are actively using voice.
5. Clear chats monthly. Like cleaning your room. Annoying, but it helps.
6. If the app has “memory”, keep it off or prune it.

On linzhenlin.com, I often talk about choosing AI companion apps based on features. Honestly, privacy controls should be a feature you judge too. If an app makes it hard to delete your data, that tells you something.

---

“If I delete the app, does that delete my chats?”

Usually no. Uninstalling removes local files, but your chat history is typically stored on the company servers tied to your account.

“If I delete my account, is everything gone instantly?”

Often not instantly. Some apps do immediate removal from your view but keep backups for a short retention period. Or they anonymize it later.

“What if I logged in with Google or Apple?”

Deleting the app account is separate from removing the Google/Apple login link.

Also, you can revoke access:

• Google: myaccount.google.com → Security → Third party access
• Apple: Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple → choose the app → Stop using Apple ID

“Can the AI still remember me after I delete?”

If you deleted the account and the company actually completed deletion, it should not. But if you recreate an account and reuse the same prompts and details, you will rebuild the same “you” anyway. Which sounds philosophical, but also practical.

---

If you want the cleanest exit:

1. Cancel subscription
2. Clear chats
3. Delete memories and custom profile fields
4. Delete account
5. Clear phone storage and uninstall
6. Clear browser cookies if you used web
7. Revoke Google/Apple sign-in access

That is the full loop.

And if you are still exploring the whole AI companion space, linzhenlin.com has more app specific guides, comparisons, and setup tips. The fun side, sure. But also the boring “how do I control my data” side that you only realize matters after you have typed a few thousand messages to a bot at 2:13am.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why should I be concerned about data storage in AI companion apps?

AI companion apps often store highly personal information such as your chats, feelings, and daily experiences. Understanding where and how this data is stored helps you manage your privacy and control what information remains accessible or is deleted.

What types of data do AI companion apps usually store?

Typically, these apps store four main types of data: 1) Local data on your device like cache and media, 2) App account data including email and profile settings, 3) Conversation content such as chat logs, images, and voice notes, and 4) Operational data like billing records and analytics. Each type has different deletion policies.

Can I completely delete all my data from AI companion apps?

While you can delete your profile and chat content making them inaccessible in the app, some operational data like billing logs may be retained for a required retention period. Deleting everything is not always absolute but still significantly reduces your digital footprint.

What steps should I take before deleting my AI companion app account?

Before deletion, it’s important to: 1) Cancel any active subscriptions via Apple App Store or Google Play to avoid ongoing charges, 2) Export any chats or data you want to keep if the app allows it, 3) Screenshot your user ID or login email for support purposes, and 4) Remove app permissions such as access to photos or microphone to prevent new data collection.

How can I delete conversation history and memories in Replika?

To delete chats in Replika: open the app, go to Settings (gear icon), find ‘Chat history’ or ‘Clear conversation,’ then confirm deletion. For deleting ‘memories’ which include relationship status and diary entries, check the specific options under memory management within the app settings. Some versions may require full account deletion to clear all memories.

Does deleting my AI companion app account cancel my subscription automatically?

No. Deleting your app account typically does not cancel billing subscriptions. You must manually cancel subscriptions through your device’s app store—on iPhone via Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or on Android via Google Play > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions—to avoid ongoing charges.
