Delete Hosted Projects??

[Jess Buck]

I've made quite a few hosted projects that died and now they're cluttering up my followed hosted projects thing and I don't know how to get rid of them or even if I can.  It's just kind of bothering me to look at them.  Any help??

You have to find 'Hide' in the main Hosted Project. I did it once, so I forgot where is it exactly.

 

[Jess Buck]

I did that to a few of them but it still lists them in the section of your profile where you can look at all the hosted projects you are in.  It's really not that big of a deal but knowing their dead and them still being there bugs me because I don't need them there anymore.  They're dead.  I don't need links to them.  Its an OCD thing.  I wish it didn't bother me as much as it does.

Same. I actually have OCD, (and autism, and ADHD.) So its kind of a problem for me. I don't know if the Staff will do it, So you have to wait.

If you no longer wish for it to show on your list of Hosted Projects, you must leave it.  You can do this directly from the HP page or by going to the hosted project management page.

You cant leave it if you've created it.  There isn't an option for it.

You can send a support ticket with your request to delete it.  A staff member will be able to help you.  Just be courteous to other people who have posted content, especially characters, and let them know that it will be deleted.  There's no way we can retrieve it once it's gone.

We actually really discourage deletion of any material because it messes with the database and other things in the backend, and we don't like having to deal with that.

I believe it's possible to select an ignore option from the thread? 

 

[Chordling]

The only way you can "ignore" a thread is by unfollowing it if you were previously following it.

@Jess Buck The staff can unhide it, as I also asked them of the same thing.  Once it is unhidden, you can see if someone perhaps would like to take over ownership and perhaps then it will let you leave.  I do wish that once we hide an HP we can no longer see it or are the owner, but at this time it is what it is.
