Deleting Content

There may be times when you may wish to delete specific items of Content in your Buzzspark account, either because it is not relevant, no longer required or your account is nearing the Max Retained Tiles quota of your Buzzspark subscription plan.

Buzzspark provides multiple convenient methods to permanently delete content. This article covers:
Deleting individual Tiles
Deleting multiple Tiles
Deleting all Tiles that match specific criteria

Archived content cannot be deleted in Buzzspark without it first being unarchived. See Archiving and Unarchiving Content for further details.
