The help text for the command that removes one has been reworded. It now says the command removes the session from the list and deletes its worktree (a separate working copy of your project made for that session) only if it is safe to do so. It also says the session's conversation is kept, and that `claude --resume` will still list it.\n\nThe old wording was \"Delete a background session and its worktree.\" Both versions say the command also works on sessions that have already exited.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe new wording makes clear that removing a background session does not throw away its conversation. You can still find it and pick it up again from the `--resume` picker.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Names: `claude --resume`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
