I backed up and deleted all my hubs in the fall, but forgot about my profile. I finally deleted it today. It's so sad. I've been writing here on and off for 18 years. I've never been active in the forums, but I did quietly lurk in them. I found them invaluable to understanding how to write on the internet.
I never really made friends here, but I still want to say goodbye before they lock us out completely. I wish everyone the very best of luck. I will miss this community.
Hi, I also started deleting my hubs and like you, I felt very sad.
I need help in deleting the hubs which were shared on partner sites, those that have the bold Hubpages heading in black. There is no delete or unpublish button so I can’t get them deleted -38 of them. Any suggestions?
I think you will need to contact Hubpages directly and ask them if they will delete them for you.
They stopped the content on these sites earning money and removed editing unless you asked for them to be moved back a while ago.
Thank you. I did contact them, but all I’ve been getting is links to the forum.
All the best.
I have downloaded all the hubs I want, but have so many left. Do you think they will delete them for me? And if I delete my account now will that take out all the ones left. I really do need to earn the last little penny, LOLOLO! No, seriously, I just want to make sure I get rid of the rest of my hubs.
Thanks guys!
Farewell OldRoses. You have a lot of quality hubs, and though it's just button presses, it must have hurt to delete them. You have my admiration.
I wish you the best in your other endeavours.

Yesterday I spent some time deleting some of my Hubs that were performing badly is this a good idea as my Hub score seems to have taken a big hit.

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

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?

Does anyone else feel that going through and deleting hubs that don't get any views is a positive way to generate more traffic to other hubs? I just feel like my score will be brought down via Google/ Panda whatever if I leave up hubs that don't get ANY traffic. I usually wait until they have...

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...

I have written almost 40 hubs, and about 30 of them have been on one topic, and they are the ones that bring 95 percent of my views. So if i deleted the other 10, would that increase my traffic because google would think I'm more of an 'expert' on the one topic? Those 10 barely bring in any views,...
