ChatGPT's Library saves files separately from chats

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI's ChatGPT now automatically saves uploaded files to a 'Library' section, separate from chat history. Users must manually delete files from this Library, as simply deleting a chat does not remove the associated files. Files remain in the Library for up to 30 days before permanent deletion, with an option to expedite this process. AI

IMPACT Users need to be aware of separate file deletion for privacy and data management within ChatGPT.
