The ChatGPT Library needs a proper bulk-delete function. Files and generated images remain in Library even after the original chats are deleted. I currently have around 3 GB of unwanted content, but the only available option is to delete each item individually, which is impractical for users with large libraries. Please add multi-select checkboxes, Select All, Delete Selected, and an Empty Library option. Filters for deleting by date, file type, or uploaded/generated content would also be useful. Deleted items could remain in Recently Deleted temporarily to prevent accidental permanent removal. ---

Thanks for the cleanup ideas! Library files are stored separately from chats, and the current filters and deletion options are here: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001052. We'll pass along your request for bulk deletion, Empty Library and date-based cleanup, including image handling. No timeline to share. ---
