Yes, you can permanently delete a TinyURL link—but a couple of conditions need to be met first. This article explains what’s required and walks you through the deletion process step by step.
Before You Start: Two Things to Check
- The link must be under a registered account. You can only delete a link that lives inside a TinyURL account. Links created without signing in can’t be managed or deleted.
- You’ll need a paid plan. Deleting links is a premium feature. To unlock it, upgrade to any of our paid plans. Once your account is upgraded, the delete option becomes available.
Tip: Confirm the link is in your account before upgrading, so the delete feature works right away after you subscribe.
How to Delete a TinyURL Link
Once your account is upgraded, here’s how to remove a link:
Step 1: Open the link menu
- Click the TinyURL link you want to remove. On the right-hand side of the link menu, click the kebab icon (the three horizontal dots …)
Step 2: Select “Delete TinyURL”
- A dropdown menu will appear. Choose Delete TinyURL to remove the link.That’s it – the link is now deleted from your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens After a Link Is Deleted?
- The short link will no longer redirect to its destination URL.
- Anyone who clicks the deleted TinyURL link will see a 404 error page instead of your website.
Why Can’t TinyURL Delete the Link for Me?
- For security and privacy reasons, our system is designed so that only the account owner can remove their own links. This protects link owners from having their links deleted without permission. Because of this, our support team is unable to delete links on your behalf.
Quick Summary:
| Requirement | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Link is under your registered account | You can only edit links you own |
| Paid plan (e.g., Pro-250) | Editing and deleting are premium features |
