Delete a draft album you haven't published

Deleting a draft album

If you started an album and changed your mind — maybe you mistyped the title, picked the wrong cover photo, or just want to start fresh — you can remove the whole draft as long as you haven't published it yet.

Once an album is published, the Delete option goes away. From that point on, the way to step back from an album is to archive it instead, which hides it without removing anything.

Finding your draft

Your drafts are listed on your circle's Albums page, under Your drafts. To get there, open your circle, choose Collections & more, then choose the Albums heading. Tap a draft to open it.

How to delete a draft from inside the album

1. Open the album you want to remove.
2. Tap the Settings tab.
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete draft album.
4. Confirm by tapping Delete draft album in the pop-up.

What happens after I delete a draft?

The album, any photos or stories you started, and your invite list are all permanently removed. This step can't be undone, so we'll always ask you to confirm before anything goes away.

Tip: If your album is already published and you want to take it offline, archive it instead. Nothing is deleted, and you can bring it back any time.
