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.

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
