How can I delete hubs that I started and decided not to write? In my list, it has them still listed with a line through them. Is there a way to get them off of there? Also, if I make a title, then decide to change the title later, how can I delete the old title? (This is how I ended up with a few hubs I can't delete in the first place.) Thanks for your help!

Leave the one's with the lines through along and they will disappear soon. They don't vanish straight away but they will be deleted.
It usually take two to three days for them to disappear, but they are on the way to being gone. To edit a title click on the hub and then click edit. There is box with the title at the top. You can change the title there. However, you won't be able to change the URL (where it says http://www.hubpages.com/Your-Previous-Title-Choice-Here) While that can sometimes be sad, it doesn't usually make a whole lot of difference for most people.
I'm having this problem with an unfinished hub too. I don't see any option anywhere to delete it.
Open the hub, and at the top you will see options (once the page is open on your screen). One of those is "delete."
There should be a delete button at the top of the edit page of your hub. If you delete it, you have 24 hours to "un-delete" it and save your URL choice. You can edit the title at any time, but you can only choose a URL once
(So choose wisely grasshopper)
Or you will have to totally delete the hub to change the URL.

How many times do you edit an idled Hub before deleting it? Or do you keep it idled so that links to it are still good? Also, for what reasons do you either leave it idled or delete it or still try to fix it? I have one Hub which I've edited a few times, and this last time after I edited it, it...

It is advantageous to delete one's own low scoring hubs that have little traffic. I figure getting rid of the low score would increase the average of the rest of one's hubs.What do you think?

I just recently went through my many hubs and came to realize that almost every hub I did involving youtube videos had broken links. So I went to go fix the links only to find that these hubs were lame. I started deleting all hubs that don't generate traffic or are just plain...

Some people say you should never, ever delete a hub...only edit it and such. What makes you just completely trash your own hubs?

I have about 20 hubs with low scores and low views, Should I keep them or delete them. I have revised them all and they just seem stuck. Any ideas about this?

I have a quick question. If I unpublish a hub, does Google "see" that it's still sitting in my account and thus punish me for it, or should I be totally deleting hubs that I decide are not garnering enough traffic? Some of them I'd like to keep around until I get the time to...
