This tutorial will show you how to delete saved Copilot memory for your Microsoft account.
The Microsoft Copilot app is an AI here to give advice, inspiration, and help when you need a hand. You can start a conversation to get clear answers to tough questions, turn ideas into images, or polish your writing until it shines.
Signing into Copilot using your personal Microsoft Account gives you access to your chat history, image creation, longer conversations, voice interactions, and other Copilot features.
Microsoft Copilot offers you tailored experiences by remembering key details and preferences from your conversations with Microsoft Copilot Chat using Copilot Memory. Over time, it can recall useful information like your communication style, favorite topics, work goals, and recurring tasks to make conversations straightforward and more relevant. If the user has Copilot memory enabled, Copilot can provided personalized recommendations by using Copilot Chat conversations and usage data, Microsoft 365 work data, usage signals, and profile information.
Once Copilot has saved memories, you can manage those memories and even delete them from Copilot Memory.
