Unpublish a file
Unpublish the file to remove the file listing from the Community. This will remove the file from your Community profile and the profiles of any other creators.
Note: Paid files cannot be unpublished but can be delisted. In most cases, delisted files are still accessible by users who purchased them. Learn more about delisted paid resources →
Removing or unpublishing a file doesn't affect duplicates of the file. Anyone who duplicated the file before it was removed can continue to access and edit their copy of the file.
You can remove a published file from the original file, or from the file page in the Community.
Note: Only an organization admin can unpublish a file or plugin on an organization's profile. If you're not an organization admin, you can still choose to remove the file from your profile.
