Library Cleaner for ChatGPT by MyProjectsAreLovely

Library Cleaner for ChatGPT is an unofficial bulk file-management tool for the ChatGPT Library.

The extension is shown only when the user opens the ChatGPT Library page:

Open ChatGPT Library

After opening the Library, a red launcher button appears in the bottom-right corner of the page. The button opens the extension panel, where the user can count, move, or permanently delete Library items.

The extension processes files in controlled batches, making large cleanup operations significantly faster than deleting every file individually through the standard ChatGPT interface.

It lets users:

• Count files and images before making any changes.
• Switch between Active files and Recently deleted.
• Process only the latest 10 items for safer testing.
• Process all available items when a full cleanup is required.
• Move active Library items to Trash in bulk.
• Permanently delete multiple items from Recently deleted.
• View live progress, completed operations, and individual errors.
• Stop an operation at any time.
• Use the interface in Polish or English.

The extension does not download Library files to the user's device.

It does not send account information, file information, authentication data, or browsing activity to the developer or to any third-party server.

All Library operations are performed directly between the user's browser and chatgpt.com using the user's existing ChatGPT session.

The extension does not contain:

• analytics,
• telemetry,
• advertising,
• tracking systems,
• external servers,
• remotely downloaded code.

Authentication information is used only in memory while the ChatGPT page is open. It is not saved by the extension.

File names, file identifiers, deletion history, account information, and Library contents are not stored by the extension.

The only persistent setting saved by the extension is the user's selected interface language: Polish or English.

Destructive actions always require explicit confirmation.

The extension remains hidden outside the ChatGPT Library page. It does not display its page launcher on conversations, settings, or other ChatGPT pages.

This is an unofficial third-party extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI.

v1.4.3 focuses on reliability, bulk deletion stability, and improved file filtering.

• Added separate file type filters for:
• Images
• Video
• Audio
• PDF
• Text
• Other
• Added dedicated PDF detection using:
• application/pdf
• .pdf file extension
• ChatGPT library file category when available
• File type filters now apply to both:
• Active Files
• Permanently Deleted Files / Trash

Active file counting is now more resistant to temporary ChatGPT backend errors.
Instead of immediately failing when the server returns a temporary error, the extension automatically retries the request.

Supported retry conditions include:

• 408 Request Timeout
• 425 Too Early
• 429 Too Many Requests
• 500 Internal Server Error
• 502 Bad Gateway
• 503 Service Unavailable
• 504 Gateway Timeout

Temporary server problems should no longer immediately interrupt file counting.

File categories are also processed more gradually to reduce backend load when working with large libraries.



The Delete All / Move Everything to Trash operation now uses the same retry mechanism.
This helps prevent large cleanup operations from failing because of temporary server timeouts.



The Permanently Deleted Files → Delete All / Empty Trash operation has been significantly improved.
Permanent deletion now automatically retries when ChatGPT returns errors such as:

1. Request timeout
2. Request timed out
3. Gateway timeout
4. Upstream timeout
5. or deletion stream errors such as:

** file.deletion.error
** UnexpectedStatusCode



Sometimes ChatGPT may successfully delete a file but fail to confirm completion before the request times out.

For example:

• The server did not confirm completion

The extension now handles this situation more safely.

If a retry receives:

• 404 Not Found
  or:
• 410 Gone

after an earlier deletion attempt, the file can be treated as already deleted instead of being reported as another failure.



Permanent bulk deletion is now performed more carefully.

1. Files are processed sequentially.
2. A short delay is used between deletion requests.
3. Temporary failures trigger automatic retries.
4. Retry delays increase between attempts.

This reduces the chance of triggering backend timeouts during large cleanup operations.

• Improved handling of large ChatGPT libraries.
• Improved handling of temporary backend failures.
• Improved retry and backoff logic.
• Improved deletion completion detection.
• Reduced unnecessary API request bursts.
• Improved file category filtering.
• Improved PDF recognition.

Recommended for users with large ChatGPT file libraries or users who previously experienced 504, Request timeout, or UnexpectedStatusCode errors during bulk cleanup.
