This is because the Auto delete button is added in extension options but functionality of this button is not added.

@wong2 If you are reading this comment, I have implemented this functionality by adding the above function.

async function deleteConversation(accessToken, conversationID) {
  try {
    const resp = await fetch(`https://chat.openai.com/backend-api/conversation/${conversationID}`, {
      method: "PATCH",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ is_visible: false })
    });
    const data = await resp.json();
    console.log("Conversation deleted", data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Error deleting conversation", err);
  }
}

Hi chrahman, do you mind providing more details on how to add the piece of code to make the auto delete option work? Thanks a lot!

@DV4ABY I just found a temporary solution here, is that what you're looking for? And I guess the script above should be added in background.js when building from source.
