Ever feel like your list of AI characters is getting a little crowded? Maybe you created a test bot, or your favorite character now weirds you out. No worries! Deleting a character in Character.AI is super easy — and we’ll show you how to do it in just three simple steps.
Let’s clean up that virtual cast list and bring some digital peace to your account!
Why Delete a Character?
- You made a test character just to try things out.
- The bot isn’t working the way you hoped.
- You don’t need it anymore, and it’s cluttering your dashboard.
Whatever your reason, deleting a character only takes a minute.
The 3 Easy Steps
Step 1: Go to Your Profile
First, log into Character.AI. Once you’re in, head over to your profile page. It’s usually in the upper right corner — look for your profile picture or the little icon.
From there, click on “My Characters.” This is where all your digital friends live.
Step 2: Choose the Character You Want to Delete
Scroll through the list until you find the character you want gone. Maybe it’s your old bot named “TestBot3000” or “Chatty McChatface.”
Click on the character’s name. This will open up the character’s detail page. You’ll see options like chat history, edit character, and more.
Look for a gear icon or a menu with the word “Edit”. Click it.
Step 3: Hit Delete and Confirm
Inside the edit menu, scroll down until you see a red button labeled “Delete Character”.
Click it! A confirmation message will pop up asking if you’re really, really sure. Make sure you’re deleting the right one. You don’t want to say goodbye to your favorite AI friend by accident.
Once confirmed, poof! The character is gone for good.
Important Notes
- This action is permanent. Once you delete the character, it’s gone forever. No undo!
- You can always create a new character if you change your mind.
- You can’t delete characters made by others. Only the ones you created yourself.
Fun Tip!
If you’re not ready to delete, consider just editing your character. You can change the name, personality, or even their purpose. Freshen them up instead of tossing them out!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Deleting the wrong character. Double-check before you confirm deletion!
- Trying to delete a featured character that you didn’t create — those can’t be removed from your view.
- Thinking the deletion is temporary. Nope, it’s permanent!
What Happens After Deletion?
When you delete a character:
- They disappear from your list.
- Others can’t interact with them anymore (if the bot was public).
- Chat history is usually also wiped clean from your side.
Time to Clean House!
Whether you’re tidying up your account or saying goodbye to an experiment gone wrong, deleting characters on Character.AI doesn’t have to be stressful. It’s easy, fast, and satisfying to see only the bots you truly love.
So go ahead — free your dashboard, one little red button at a time. Your future characters will thank you. Probably.
