Deleting a photo, or the whole event

Hosts can remove anything. A deleted photo is removed right away, and we can restore it for 30 days if you ask.

From your dashboard's Photos tab you can delete any photo or video in the event, whoever uploaded it. Deleting frees the slot, so removing a video makes room for another one. Hide keeps a photo but takes it out of the gallery; Approve brings it back.

  1. To delete several at once, tap Select photos to delete above the photos.
  2. Tap each photo you want to remove, or Select all. On a computer, click one, then hold Shift and click another to select everything in between.
  3. Tap Delete selected and confirm. Anything that could not be deleted stays selected so you can try again.

To delete the whole event, go to the Event tab, then Ending the event, and tap Delete event. It takes the event and every photo in it away right away, and you cannot undo it yourself. You are asked to confirm, and the confirmation tells you how many photos will go.

Download anything you want to keep first. There is no undo button, but deleted photos and videos get a 30-day recovery period: they are removed right away, and for 30 days after that we can restore them if you ask. Comments, likes and guest book entries are not restored. After the 30 days they are gone for good.
