Problem The left sidebar lists all past conversations in a flat list, but there is no way to delete or remove old/unwanted conversations from the UI. Over time the list accumulates stale sessions (e.g., quick tests, experiments, abandoned tasks), making it harder to find relevant conversations.

Proposed solution Add a way to delete a conversation from the left sidebar. Options:

Hover delete button: When hovering over a conversation entry in the sidebar, show a small trash/delete icon (🗑️) on the right edge. Clicking it removes the conversation. Right-click context menu: Right-clicking a conversation entry shows a menu with "Delete" option. Keyboard shortcut: With a conversation selected in the sidebar, pressing Delete or Backspace removes it, with a confirmation prompt. Deleting should:

Remove the entry from session_index.jsonl Move or delete the corresponding .jsonl file from sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/ Why this matters

Keeps the conversation list clean and organized Reduces clutter when iterating on many small tasks Provides a basic data management capability expected in any conversation-based UI Alternatives considered

Archiving (to archived_sessions/) instead of permanent deletion — could be offered as a secondary option Bulk select + delete for power users Additional context Session data is stored at ~/.codex/session_index.jsonl and ~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/*.jsonl. Currently users must manually edit these files from the terminal to remove conversations.
