Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/14174

During a conversation in the main UI, at one point the AI started a message like this: "I need to keep track of the 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11[...]"

I think you can guess where this went, eventually I killed it after it reached 100. The point is, now the last message of this conversation is complete garbage in an otherwise very good conversation, which I'd like to continue.

For now, the only option to get rid of garbage in Ollama's main UI is to delete the entire conversation, and this is exactly what I don't want to do. The only other options are to copy the message (with the button below it) or to share the conversation (with right click -> "More options). I can't even ask the AI to generate another message after the garbage one, the "Send" button next to the input box is greyed out.

I'd like to request a feature to either delete a single message from a conversation (messages from the AI or from the user) or to re-generate another message to replace the last one the AI generated.

In the meantime, the only workaround I found was to edit the SQLite database, located in my AppData directories, to delete both the AI's message and my last message too. This definitely isn't ideal, since it requires digging into hidden directories and using additional software.
