Hey guys! Although I used YWS a lot a year ago, I just got back onto it, and would like to erase my current works from my portfolio. I can only find a way to unpublish them and can't find a way to actually delete them. Can you help?

You can't delete works from your portfolio, because if they have reviews on them, this would delete the reviews -- because those are important to the site economy, we don't have a "delete work" function.

However (and this is what I did) you can delete all the text from your work (replace it with "text deleted" or the like if you want) and make it private -- basically ensuring that the text itself is taken off the internet.
