memory-delete

To delete memories from your Tandem memory timeline, request to forget an item and confirm the deletion when prompted. The system searches both central memory files and local MEMORY.md, applies safeguards, and rewrites compiled truth without deleting the memory files themselves.

You can edit or correct stored memories by requesting an update to existing information. The system removes or updates entries across Tandem's two-layer memory system, applying retrofit rules for legacy files and rewriting compiled truth to maintain accuracy and privacy safety.

The safest way to forget outdated information is to use a guided deletion process that searches both central memory files and local MEMORY.md, requires user confirmation before any action, and logs actions for auditing while preventing accidental deletions of the memory files themselves.

Memory deletion works with both Phase-2 memory formats and legacy formats. The system applies retrofit rules to legacy files to maintain compiled truth integrity, ensuring accurate updates or removals while preserving the underlying memory file structure.

The system requires confirmation before deleting a memory item to enforce strict safety boundaries, preventing accidental deletions of memory files. This safeguard ensures privacy-safe modifications and logs actions for auditing before any compiled truth is rewritten.

When you ask Tandem to forget information, the actual memory files are never deleted. Instead, the system removes or updates the specific stored entries within central memory files and local MEMORY.md, rewriting compiled truth as needed while preserving the files.
