Files uploaded in Claude "incognito" chats are listed in settings, with a link that reopens the whole chat

A user found that any file attached to an incognito chat appears under User Settings > Privacy > Uploaded Files with a "Chat" source link that reopens the original conversation in full, contradicting Anthropic's own help-center line that "once closed, incognito chats cannot be reopened." Another user in the thread submitted it to Anthropic's security program and posted the reply verbatim: it is "documented behavior of incognito chats rather than a security vulnerability," with a default 30-day retention window before automatic deletion. The practical risk named in the thread is shared machines and malware, not enterprise admins.
