Not all content is evergreen and meant to live online forever. There are times when it's necessary to delete or remove a post because it's time-sensitive, misaligns with the brand, or any other myriad of reasons. When that happens, you can remove or delete a post, and this article covers how you can do that.

🔹 This is available on all plans.

🔸 This is accessible to all roles and permission levels.

Terminology

Removed post: A removed post is a post removed from a Group(s) Timeline and Feed. Removed posts are visible to Group Moderators and Administrators using the Removed tab and within Group Post Management.

Deleted post: A deleted post is the most permanent form of removing a post’s content from a Workspace. Deleting a post removes the content from all Groups and Timelines, and the post is no longer accessible in Group Post Management.

Expired post: Scheduled posts can be set to expire, which applies the “removed” status once the expiration date and time occur. Expired posts function the same as Removed posts.

🔹 Data is still available for removed or deleted posts in analytics.

FAQ

What happens if a post is deleted or removed but has already been shared to a social network?

Since EveryoneSocial pushes information to a network but does not act on behalf of the network, any post deleted in EveryoneSocial must also be deleted within the account for the social network it was posted to.

What happens if I delete a post that was shared in multiple Groups?
If you delete the primary post, then the post is removed from every Group. If you delete a secondary post then the secondary post is the only one removed. See the article on how to post to multiple Groups.
What happens to the data for a secondary post that’s deleted?
Data remains with the primary post, even if a secondary post is deleted. Because we track point-in-time data, shares and engagements are still tracked as soon as they are received. This is true regardless of it a secondary post is deleted. The primary post hosts the data and will record activity as it happens. See the article on how to post to multiple Groups.
