Can I clear my Grok Bot's history?

There's no wipe-history button. Duplicate the Bot, make a new one, or hide the old one. A computer reset does not clear chats.

Short answer

No. Grok Bot doesn't have a built-in way to clear a Bot's history, and the Bots page doesn't describe one. A computer reset works on the computer, not your chats. The Grok Bot computer help page says "Chats are stored separately, so a computer problem does not delete conversation history by itself."

Steps

Step 1: If you want to keep the same setup, duplicate the Bot. The page says the copy "carries the profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar. It does not copy conversation history, learned memory, or chat attachments." The page doesn't say whether the main Bot can be duplicated, so I can't promise that option is there for it.

Step 2: Watch the routines. Because a duplicate copies routines too, I'd expect both the old Bot and the copy to run them, so I'd turn them off on one of the two.

Step 3: If you'd rather start from a blank slate, make a new Bot. The page says "Choose New in the sidebar or press Cmd/Ctrl+N."

Step 4: Move the old Bot out of the way if you like. The page says hiding "removes a Bot from the main list without deleting its work." The page also says "Hiding does not pause the Bot or its routines," so hiding alone won't stop its routines.

One more note from the same page: Bots "share the computer," so files on your Bots' shared computer stay put whichever route you take.

If it still fails

If you need the old conversation gone and duplicate isn't offered for that Bot, make a new Bot for the fresh approach and hide or delete the old one only after you've moved anything you still need.
