I think that your bot games are saved after you run a Game Review or analysis.

They have always kept the record of live games. It enables them to verify the validity of ratings calculations.
Hi everyone,
I've noticed that on the mobile app for chess.com (Android edition), if I go to: Home --> More --> Profile --> "View All Games", literally every game I've ever played is saved there. I play a ton of games against the bots for practice, and I DON'T want those games to be saved. The bot games clog up my game history. Its a huge pain to manually go in and delete them one-by-one.
Is there a "Do not automatically save bot games" option? And/or could it be possible to mass-delete games from the "My Games" overview page?
(And TBH, it would be nice to have the ability to delete games against human players, too. I don't like that such games are considered permanent history. I'm a paying customer, don't I get a say in what data of mine is and is not recorded?)
Thank you
There's a new feature that saves all bot games by default. There's no option to disable that.
You can delete individual games by going into them and choosing the delete option.
Thank you - I suspected as much. I've noticed that if I play a bot game on the chess.com website, the game appears in my game history in the mobile app version.
Honestly, this isn't a welcome feature. I don't like histories recorded without my consent, especially for a service I pay for. Even Google allows you to delete your online history.

As mentioned, you can delete the games. If you go into the game from your history, there's an option to delete.
