I have tried to delete a hub but it doesn't seem to be possible. I can't find it in the help section either. What you can do is unpublish a hub, but what if I want to totally get rid of it... how do I go about it? Can it be done?
Thanks in advance my fellow hubbers!

I agree with Sofs, just wanting to add that using the "unpublish" button alone won't do the job; you still need to click the delete button afterwards.
Just be aware that the delete button shows in normal view, not edit view.
Also be aware that a hub, once deleted and expunged from the system, cannot be resurrected. It would have to be recreated "de novo."
To delete a hub simply edit hub and press delete button.The hub is deleted within 48 hours. 48 hours time is to if you want to change your idea to delete the hub
This is incorrect. Once deleted, the hub will be permanently removed in 24 hours, and a notice to that effect is given on the screen when deleting the hub. It is also incorrect that editing the hub is necessary before deleting it, see prior posts above.

If we want to "remove" some hubs that are under achieving to test whether our other hubs increase in traffic, as a result, can we simply unpublish them or must they be deleted entirely?

I just posted a bit ago a request for help on a hub that has been flagged over promotional. I just realized nobody can see the hub in question since the hubpages staff said to unpublish. How do you get someone with experience to look it over and help with it if they can't see it? It has been...

I have read many, ( a zillion) hubs in the last month or so and some of them mention the removal of non productive hubs. Could you add a section that we could put these hubs, like an inactive section, but still keep them? I am unwilling to delete any of my hubs, good or bad.

I have a few hubs that I wrote about 10 years ago when I first started writing on hubpages that are not very good. They are pretty thin on content and get little or no traffic now. Some of them have even been unpublished due to lack of traffic or for quality. I am not disputing that they are not...
