What happens if I delete or hide a Bot?
Deleting a Bot removes its active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot. Because Bots share a computer, files and sign-ins on that computer may remain. Official FAQ says backend retention follows the applicable Cursor terms. If you might need the work later, hide the Bot instead of deleting it. Hiding removes it from the main sidebar and does not pause the Bot or its routines. Open Hidden Bots to unhide it. Deleting a routine by itself is immediate and has no undo.

Duplicate is not delete
A duplicate is a new Bot with the same profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar. It does not copy history, learned memory, or attachments. Rename it before you assign work. None of these actions posts anything on bot.ski.
