Before you fully delete your account, don't forget to first save your chats! Go to https://chatgpt.com/#settings/DataControls and click Export under "Export Data".

What value does this give you? Part of why I deleted my account was I couldn't think of a single thing of value in my chats from the past couple years? Maybe some nostalgia looking at what bugs I was fixing?

You’re confusing your situation with others. There are unlimited reasons someone else might want their chats.

For me this is very valuable. The results of personal "research projects" are in there. I use it for reference. Of course I could ask Claude to get me those answers but why waste the energy?

Upvoted because you were genuinely asking a question and don't deserve to be down voted for that.

Some people have apparently been using it as a notepad. See the following: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04064-7

In my case, I would rather keep it than lose it. It's just text so small amount of data. You can trivially get a GPT Embedding for it and search it in DuckDB later for things you asked.

Thanks. I've been meaning to do this for a couple days and this made it easy enough to do in the moment.
