I open sourced a skill that bulk-deletes old Claude Code routine runs (and keeps the ones you replied in)
A developer released Routine Cleanup, an open-source Claude Code skill and plugin that bulk-deletes session records left by scheduled tasks in the Claude desktop app. Scheduled runs each leave a session in the Runs list, and the app only supports deleting them one at a time; the author's bug-fix routine had accumulated 618 runs. The tool deletes through the app itself and preserves any run the user interacted with.

AI Overview
- Redditor naw103 released Routine Cleanup, an MIT-licensed Claude Code skill that bulk-deletes scheduled-task sessions; their bug-fix routine hit 618 runs
- The skill keeps the newest N runs, never deletes runs the user typed in, shows a plan first, and deletes 25 at a time through the app itself
- Deleting session files directly fails because the app keeps the list in memory and writes records back, causing permanent 'Session not found on disk' entries
- Installs via /plugin marketplace add naw103/claude-routine-cleanup; tested on macOS only, with Windows and Linux app paths untested

Claude Code skill that bulk-deletes sessions left by scheduled routines
A Claude Code skill that cleans up sessions accumulated by Claude Code's scheduled tasks (routines), which leave a session behind on every run. It plans the cleanup — keeping the newest N and optionally protecting sessions the user replied to — then deletes sessions in batches of 25 through the app's own session tool, each behind an approval card. Deleting files directly doesn't work because the desktop app keeps the session list in memory and writes records back.

Users discover Claude Code silently deletes sessions older than 30 days by default
A Reddit user discovered that Claude Code, by default, deletes session files older than 30 days without user consent. The behavior is controlled by a cleanupPeriodDays setting (default 30, minimum 1) that silently removes old sessions at startup. This has raised concerns about loss of important history and lack of transparency.
