Problem Statement

Currently, there is no built-in command to delete specific chat sessions in Claude Code. While claude --resume allows users to view and resume previous sessions, there's no way to remove unwanted or outdated sessions through the CLI.

Proposed Solution

Add a command to delete specific chat sessions, such as:

claude --delete-session <session-id>

Or alternatively:
claude session delete <session-id>
