Delete a topic
How to delete a topic, and what happens to its votes and links.
Updated
- Open Topics.
- Use the menu on the topic’s row, or open the topic and choose delete.
- Confirm.
What happens
- The topic, its votes and its comments are deleted. This can’t be undone.
- Links to that topic in issues you’ve already sent stop recording votes. Readers who click them see a page saying the link isn’t valid.
If you only want to stop using a topic, you don’t have to delete it. Leave it out of future issues and its history stays on your dashboard.
