Deleting Scheduled Posts
You might want to remove a scheduled post because the content is no longer relevant, you made a mistake, or you want to reschedule it for a different time.
How to delete a scheduled post
Section titled “How to delete a scheduled post”- Go to your profile and click the Scheduled Posts tab
- Find the post you want to remove
- Click the Delete button on that post
- A confirmation dialog appears: “Are you sure you want to delete this scheduled activity?”
- Confirm the deletion
The post is removed immediately. The count badge in the tab label updates to reflect the new total.
What happens to the post
Section titled “What happens to the post”Deletion is permanent. The activity record and all its scheduling metadata are removed from the database. The post will not be published at its original scheduled time.
If you delete a post that already had media attached, the media attachment references stored with the activity are also removed (the actual media file in your WordPress media library is not deleted).
What you cannot do
Section titled “What you cannot do”- There is no undo for a deleted scheduled post
- The post cannot be recovered after deletion
- Deletion removes the post entirely; it does not move it to drafts or a trash area
