Delete Memory

Overview

Supermemory is a universal memory API designed to augment AI applications with persistent, scalable memory storage. Over time, your memory database may accumulate documents or entries that are outdated, incorrect, or no longer relevant to your use case. This workflow guides you through removing a specific memory from your Supermemory instance. The deletion process requires two confirmations to prevent accidental data loss—first selecting the document, then confirming the permanent removal.

Before you begin

  • You have an active Supermemory account and are logged into app.supermemory.ai
  • You have at least one saved memory or document in your Supermemory instance
  • You know which memory or document you want to delete

Select the file or memory you wish to delete by clicking on it in the memory list. This highlights the document and prepares it for deletion.

Tip. You can identify files by their creation timestamp (e.g., '2026-04-24T14:47:58'). Take a moment to confirm you have selected the correct memory before proceeding.
