Feature Request

Description

I would like to request a "forget" or "delete" feature in the claude-mem web interface that allows users to selectively remove specific memories/observations.

Use Case

As users work with claude-mem over time, some memories may become:

• Outdated or no longer relevant
• Incorrect or misleading
• Related to abandoned projects
• Simply unwanted in the context

Currently, the only way to delete memories is by directly manipulating the SQLite database, which is not user-friendly and risks accidental data loss.

Proposed Solution

Add a delete/forget functionality in the web UI with the following capabilities:

1. Single memory deletion - A delete button (🗑️) on each observation card
2. Bulk deletion - Ability to select multiple memories and delete them at once
3. Filter-based deletion - Delete all memories matching certain criteria:
   • By project
   • By date range
   • By type (bugfix, feature, discovery, etc.)
   • By concept (how-it-works, gotcha, etc.)
4. Confirmation dialog - Prevent accidental deletions with a confirmation step
5. Optional: Soft delete - Mark as "forgotten" instead of permanent deletion, with option to restore

Additional Context

This feature would significantly improve the user experience by giving users full control over their memory database without requiring technical knowledge of SQLite.

Thank you for this excellent tool! 🙏
