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.

"The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
