The page stops working immediately
Open Profile, choose Shared links, and delete the link. The page returns 404 on the next request.
The shared page and its preview photo are removed together. Your haul and cards remain on your shelf.
The page and preview photo are removed
Credenza removes the stored snapshot and clears its cached page and preview photo. Someone opening the address after that sees a 404.
This does not remove a preview that Discord, Reddit, or another chat already saved. Delete the message there if you also want that preview gone.
| After deletion | What happens |
|---|---|
| The shared page | Returns 404 |
| Credenza's preview photo | Removed |
| Your shelf | Unchanged |
Share links are snapshots. Deleting one never deletes the haul it came from or any card on your shelf.
Deleting your account removes every shared link
Closing your account removes all shared links in the same operation. Their pages and Credenza-hosted preview photos stop working too.
A screenshot or saved preview held by someone else remains outside Credenza's control.
What a delete cannot reach
Credenza can remove its page and photo. It cannot erase copies that another service or person already saved.
| After you delete | State |
|---|---|
| The page at the address | Gone at once, everywhere |
| The card photo the address served | Gone at once, everywhere |
| The haul on your own shelf | Untouched: sharing never moved it |
| A preview card a chat already drew | Kept by that chat, not by us |
| A screenshot somebody took | Theirs now |
| The address itself, if somebody saved it | Still typeable, and it answers 404 |
A chat may keep the preview it drew when you pasted the link. Delete the message in that chat if you also want its copy removed.
Use an unlisted link when you do not want a chat preview. Read what an unlisted link hides before you share sensitive haul details.
Deleting is also how you get a slot back
Free keeps 3 active links. Pro keeps 100. Deleting a link returns its slot immediately.
Delete links when their conversations end. Pro can set an expiry when a link is created. See share a haul list without sharing your whole shelf for the available controls.
A shared page is a snapshot. Deleting or editing it never changes the original haul on your shelf.
Straight answers
I deleted it and I still see the haul. You are almost likely seeing a saved browser copy. Reload the page or open it in a private window. Contact support if another device still shows it.
Can I put the same address back? No. Addresses are drawn at random and never reissued, so a deleted one stays dead. Sharing the haul again makes a new address, and the old one keeps answering 404 forever.
Does deleting my account do this too? Yes, for every link at once, in the same step that removes your data.
Where do I start? Open Credenza, build a haul, and share it when you want an opinion on it. Delete the link when the conversation ends.
