Description

Conversations deleted on the claude.ai/code web interface still appear as "archived" in the Claude mobile app (iOS/Android). These archived conversations cannot be interacted with or deleted from the mobile app.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use Claude Code (CLI/Desktop) to create some conversations
  2. Enable Remote Control — conversations sync to claude.ai/code and mobile app
  3. Delete some conversations on the claude.ai/code web interface
  4. Open the Claude mobile app → Code section
  5. Deleted conversations still appear as "archived"

Expected behavior

Conversations deleted on the web should also be removed from the mobile app, or at minimum there should be an option to delete archived conversations in the mobile app.

Actual behavior

  • Deleted conversations persist as "archived" in the mobile app
  • No option to delete or remove them from the mobile app
  • They cannot be interacted with — just stuck in the list

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI on Windows 11
  • Remote Control enabled
  • Mobile app (latest version)

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by implementing a sync mechanism to remove deleted conversations from the mobile app or adding a delete option for archived conversations in the mobile app.

Guidance

  • Verify the API or data sync protocol used between the web interface and mobile app to ensure it correctly handles deleted conversations.
  • Investigate the mobile app's data storage to determine why deleted conversations are retained as "archived" and consider implementing a periodic cleanup mechanism.
  • Consider adding a "delete archived conversations" option in the mobile app to provide users with a way to remove these conversations manually.
  • Review the Remote Control feature's implementation to ensure it correctly syncs conversation deletion across platforms.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific technical details about the implementation.

Notes

The solution may require changes to both the web interface and mobile app, as well as potential updates to the underlying data storage and sync mechanisms. Without more information about the specific technologies and APIs used, it's difficult to provide a more detailed fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding a "delete archived conversations" option in the mobile app, as this provides a temporary solution for users to manage their conversations while a more permanent fix is implemented.
