I've spent almost five hours trying to delete the personal data that ChatGPT has stored about me, but it still seems to remember things! I'm unsure if I've done everything correctly. Can someone help me understand how to fully remove my data or disable memory features?

If you're having issues with ChatGPT remembering things, it could be that memory isn’t completely disabled or that old chat contexts are still affecting it. Double-check your settings and clear out any unwanted storage. And honestly, sometimes it might seem like ChatGPT is recalling things when it’s just using patterns and context from your conversation style. If it’s telling you it doesn’t have memories, then your memory settings are likely not set properly!
A lot of people confuse memory with context in ChatGPT. Just because memory is off doesn’t mean it won't remember what you said during the current chat—it's just temporary context. To really clear everything, try these steps:
1. Delete specific memory entries from the settings.
2. Make sure memory is fully turned off in the settings.
3. Start a completely new chat instead of continuing an old one.
Remember, some responses might just feel like it knows you because it's good at predicting answers based on your current conversation!
I've noticed that too! It's confusing when it seems to know stuff from past conversations even with memory off. It can be really frustrating when you just want a clean slate.
