I was one of the proponents in our org - saying Gemini was a better option than ChatGPT because we all use Gmail and Gemini is better integrated.
Not letting my users delete their own chats is making me seriously re-think my stance. It’s such a basic data hygiene thing… ChatGPT has this. Quickly running out of reasons to push Gemini.
I understand why some orgs need to prevent chats from being deleted. I can’t imagine they are in the majority. Let the org admin decide whether to let users delete, sure. But don’t block it outright!
The admin panel does have a checkbox for “Let users delete their own conversations with Gemini in Workspace.” But it only applies to Workspace. So maybe they will soon add it to the app?
Una opción totalmente necesaria. Por acá empresario independiente, necesito la versión “de pago” por un tema de privacidad, me pareció buena idea .. la contraté y me encontré con este horrible problema de no poder borrar los chat. Revise todas las opciones, luego abrí un chat de soporte con google y luego de como 1 hora de revisiones me confirman que con la versión pagada “de empresa” no se pueden borrar los chat, por lo cual procedí a cancelar el servicio.
We urgently need the ability for Google Workspace users to manually delete their own chat history in the standalone Gemini web app (gemini.google.com) an mobile app. Currently, users rely entirely on the admin-defined auto-deletion policy (e.g., 3 months).
For strict data hygiene and security compliance, users must have the agency to immediately purge specific conversations once a task is completed, rather than leaving an unnecessary data footprint for months.
Google recently introduced manual deletion capabilities for the Gemini side panel within Workspace apps (like Google Docs and Gmail). It is highly illogical and confusing for users that this basic privacy control is available there, but completely missing from the main Gemini web application.
It’s SOOOOOOOO frustrating. Allow admins to be able to delete conversation history, its such as flawed experience I’m thinking about just canceling my account and going to Claude. allow users both admin and non admin to delete their messages, messages can still be retained or archived while admins have an option of deleting that data entirely. its soo stupid
Please allow this! I’m not sure I would have chosen to use Gemini if I had known that this wasn’t an option. My chat list is a mess and I am totally unable to organize or clean it up.
This is the real frustration where all of the chats are there and it makes me berserk as it really disturbing and makes it less efficient and effective especially when looking for the relevant chat
This is ridiculous. If legal issues prevent deleting individual chats, and something like Projects (from Claude or ChatGPT) is too intensive a feature set for Google to roll out, then at least allow simple Archive and Group options in the user interface.
I was ready to roll back all my users’ individual ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions and have them use Gemini, but no more. I will not entertain upgrading or using Gemini until this is fixed.
I’m using it for corporate use and I can’t delete the chat list I want to delete and there’s no share button, so I’m just piling up the chat list into hundreds or thousands, but Gemini answers later as it builds up. It can’t be deleted and it’s really frustrating. Please change it so that individuals can delete it for corporate use as well.
I would love this feature to be implemented. It seems like there is a configuration, but it also appears non-functional. I see the option to a delete a chat in the app, but when I try to delete it, it prohibits me from doing so. When I look at activity, I do not see the option to delete chats from there either. Super basic functionality that should be functional when configured correctly. Or at least provide documentation as to how to effectively delete individual chats through another mechanism.
Pretty much killed workspaces for multiple orgs I manage. Its a shame as Gemini is pretty good. Now we need to use the API and Gemini Flash Preview while moving customers off Workspaces.
Hello everyone, I’ve been concerned for several months now about the lack of a conversation deletion feature on Gemini Workspace. Like you, I find this unacceptable. I’ve already reached out to Google several times via their chat over the past two months, but nothing has changed—I don’t understand why. Like some of you, I’m also going to leave Workspace to go back to “normal” Gemini. I also started a thread on Reddit and am glad to find users here who are having the same issue as me.
