16811681Pass `--all` instead of a path to purge state for every project at once, which deletes `history.jsonl` outright rather than filtering it. Pass `-i` to step through the deletion plan one item at a time.

1683In a script, check the output rather than the exit status alone. A run that deletes everything in its plan ends with `Purged N item(s)`. Treat that line as the sign of success.

16851683The command leaves `shell-snapshots/` and `backups/` alone because those are not project-scoped, and warns about them in the plan output. If anyone ran [`/heapdump`](/docs/en/troubleshooting#high-cpu-or-memory-usage) on the machine, delete the `.heapsnapshot` files it wrote too. A heap snapshot contains the full conversation and any credentials the process held, and neither the retention sweep nor the purge touches it.

16871685You can also delete any of the application-data paths above by hand, apart from the [state files to keep](#state-files-to-keep). New sessions are unaffected. The table below shows what you lose for past sessions.
