claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Memory system cannot delete files — only create/overwrite [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to add the memory file directory to the Bash sandbox's write-allowed paths to enable deletion.

Guidance

• Identify the specific directory path that needs to be added to the Bash sandbox's write-allowed list, which is ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/.
• Verify that adding this path does not introduce security risks by reviewing the sandbox's configuration and access controls.
• Consider implementing one of the proposed fixes: adding the path, creating a Delete tool, or modifying the Write tool to include a delete parameter.
• Test the chosen solution to ensure that memory files can be deleted successfully and that the MEMORY.md file is updated accordingly.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code change.

Notes

The chosen solution should balance the need for file deletion with security considerations to prevent unauthorized access or modifications.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/ to the Bash sandbox's write-allowed paths, as this is the most straightforward solution that directly addresses the issue.
