DeleteMemory

Permanently removes memory files from disk with confirmation safety.

Parameters

• identifier (string, required): Memory FILE identifier - URI (memory://path/file) or title
• confirm (bool, optional, default: false): MUST be true to execute deletion

Returns

Example

Constraints

• Irreversible: No recovery mechanism - file deleted immediately from disk
• Confirmation required: Operation fails if confirm != true
• Graph lag: Concepts removed from graph on next Sync, not immediately
• Orphan concepts: Deleting sole source of [[WikiLinks]] like [[unique-concept]] creates orphaned graph nodes

Integration

• ReadMemory: Verify content before deletion
• ExtractConceptsFromFile: Check which [[WikiLinks]] like [[research-data]], [[analysis]] will be affected
• BuildContext: Assess relationship impact before deletion
• Sync: Run after deletion to clean orphaned concepts from graph
• SearchMemories: Find files to delete by pattern

Common Patterns

Pre-deletion verification:

Cleanup workflow:

Errors

• "Must set confirm=true to delete" → Add "confirm": true to payload
• "Memory file not found" → Verify identifier with SearchMemories or ReadMemory
