How to delete a Grok Bot

Deleting one Grok Bot follows the official docs. It does not take a card off the bot.ski directory. Official docs win if they disagree with this page.

What deleting does

Create and manage Bots says deleting a Bot removes its active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot. The FAQ says deletion removes that same profile, conversation, and routines, and that files and logins on the shared computer may remain. Skills and routines adds that deleting a Bot also removes routines owned by that Bot.

A Team Bot is different. The owner can delete it, and so can a team admin from Manage Team Bots. Deleting it removes the Bot for your whole team: teammates lose it, along with their chats and routines on it. This can't be undone. If you may need the Bot again, choose Unpublish instead. The admin path also removes its Slack app. If the Slack app can't be removed, a Slack workspace admin can remove it in Slack.

What deleting does not do

The same Delete a Bot section says shared-computer files and sign-ins are not isolated by Bot and may remain on the computer. Approvals, security, and privacy says deleting a Bot does not remove shared-computer files or browser sessions. Grok Bot security says deleting a Bot does not remove computer files or browser sessions, and that connector tokens are never stored on the computer.

If you may need the work later, Delete a Bot says to hide the Bot instead. Hide from sidebar removes a Bot from the main list without deleting its work. Hiding does not pause the Bot or its routines.

Manage Grok Bot computers is Enterprise only. It appears for organization admins and team admins on an Enterprise team. Delete VMs and Data removes the computer and its durable data. Terminate deletes the member's computer, running or hibernated, and the next message starts a fresh computer on the same durable disk. Terminating does not remove access.

Step by step

One Bot in the desktop app

Delete a Bot says deleting removes the active profile, conversation, and routines. If you may need the work later, hide the Bot instead.

Settings lists the same accounts when more than one account is saved on the desktop. Inactive rows include Remove. Open View conversation details, then Bot settings, to edit that Bot's name, label, description, avatar, and notifications preference.

One Bot on iPhone or Android

Grok Bot for Mobile says you can edit a Bot profile, manage group members, pin or hide a conversation, and delete a Bot. The same page says you can delete a routine from the Bot's profile. Editing the schedule or instruction and testing a routine currently require the desktop app. From Settings, you can sign out or delete your account.

One routine, without deleting the Bot

Skills and routines gives this path:

  1. Open the Bot.
  2. Choose View conversation details.
  3. Open Routines.
  4. Delete that routine.

The same page says deleting a routine is immediate and has no undo. On iPhone and Android, the mobile page says you can delete a routine from the profile, and that editing the schedule or instruction still requires the desktop app.

A Team Bot

Use a Team Bot says that, as a teammate, you can pin a Team Bot, hide it from your sidebar, and set up your own routines. You can't delete it, and you can't change its setup unless the owner makes you a manager.

Add managers says a manager can change the Bot's setup, like its profile, skills, plugins, secrets, and Slack app, and every change reaches the whole team. Publishing, unpublishing, and deleting the Bot stay with you.

The documented admin path is on Delete a Team Bot as an admin:

  1. Open Manage Team Bots.
  2. Choose the trash icon on that Bot's row.
  3. Type the Bot's exact name to confirm.
  4. Choose Delete.

Delete a Team Bot says the owner can delete a Team Bot, and so can a team admin from Manage Team Bots.

When a project or login should no longer be available, Approvals, security, and privacy includes these steps. Grok Bot security repeats the routine, sign-out, plugin, and file parts.

  1. Pause or delete related routines.
  2. Sign out of websites on the shared computer.
  3. Uninstall connectors and revoke their authorization in the source service.
  4. Remove sensitive project files from /workspace.
  5. Hide or delete Bots that should no longer appear in Grok Bot.

Memory

What a Bot remembers says a Bot can retain stable working preferences, important facts, and summaries from its work. The FAQ says a Bot can retain stable preferences, role context, and summaries of prior work, and that its conversation and learned role are separate from other Bots. Shared files, browser sessions, group messages, and direct handoffs can move context between them.

A Team Bot keeps two kinds of memory, described on Team Bots. Team memory is read by every teammate's conversation. Notes with each person are private to that person. To correct or remove something, tell the Bot.

Connectors

Use the computer and apps says connectors are installed as plugins from Connect apps in the sidebar, and that installed connectors are account-wide. Their availability is not isolated to one Bot.

Private skills are one library shared by all of your Bots. If a skill does not appear in the / menu, open Connect apps → Your plugins → Manage plugins and skills and check that it is listed under Private skills.

On Grok Business and Enterprise plans, connector removal is in the cloud console, documented on Connector Management. Log in at console.x.ai, select the team, and open Grok Business → Connectors. Remove deletes a connector from the team. Team members can no longer connect or use it, and indexed data associated with the connector may be removed.

Templates you shared

Share a Bot says you open the Share menu and choose Create template. When the template is ready, Copy link appears. You choose who can open the link: Public link or Team-only. A public link shows the shared configuration: identity, description, skills, and routines. Adding a shared Bot creates a copy on the recipient's account. They do not get your computer, your logins, or your conversation history.

Create and manage Bots says x.ai's Marketplace, in the sidebar, also lists Bots you can add. Choose Add on a Bot, or open it and choose Import Bot, to create your own copy from its template. A card on the bot.ski directory is a separate listing.

Read what a template copies, how to use templates safely, and how to share a Bot setup.

Remove your directory listing

A card on the bot.ski directory is a listing on bot.ski. Help covers questions about bot.ski itself. Contact uses the same inbox, hello@bot.ski.

Account data and Grok chat

These are separate official paths.

  • Grok Bot for Mobile says Settings can sign you out or delete your account.
  • The accounts FAQ says you can delete the xAI account at accounts.x.ai/account. You can restore it by signing in again and confirming restoration within 30 days. Privacy requests from that FAQ go to privacy.x.ai.
  • The consumer FAQ says that on the Grok mobile app you tap your profile picture, tap and hold the name of the conversation, and select "Delete Conversation." To delete conversation history, go to Settings, Data Controls, and select "Delete All Conversations." To delete the account, select "Delete Account." On grok.com, the conversation history page has a trash button next to a conversation, and Settings has the button for deleting conversations or the account. After you indicate that you want your data deleted, it will take up to 30 days to delete from SpaceXSI systems.
  • The Privacy Policy says that if you delete any or all of your conversations, or if you delete your account, it will delete the data within 30 days unless it is necessary to retain the data for legal, compliance, or safety purposes.
  • The Privacy Portal says you have the right to access, update, delete, or control how your personal data is used. Delete your data covers your account, conversation history, or generated content.
