Roblox allows you to express your creativity and create your own games and miscellaneous experiences. If your plan to make the next big hit didn't pan out, or you're just looking to get rid of a game for whatever reason, you have some options to remove it from the public view.
In this guide, we'll go over a surefire way to remove your Roblox game from the public eye. But first, a quick overview of why you can't just delete it.
Why You Can't Delete Roblox Games
Roblox doesn't have a concrete explanation as to why developers can't straight up delete their games, but the common belief is that it's to prevent things from getting messed up in other experiences (even those that aren't yours).
However, nobody really knows for sure why exactly this is the case. Instead, there are some alternative options that you can use to hide games from others or even yourself.
How to Archive Games on Roblox
If you want a game completely out of your sight (and others' as well), you can simply archive it instead. Let's go over the process one step at a time.
Step 1. Go to the Creator Dashboard
To enter the Creator Dashboard from Roblox's site, click the "Create" button on the top part of the screen. This is accessible on any page while on the official website.
Step 2. Open the "Creations" Tab
In the Creator Dashboard, click the "Creations" button on the left side of the screen. This will show you every experience that you've created.
Step 3. Archive It!
Hover your mouse over the experience that you plan on removing, then click the three dots on the upper right corner of its thumbnail.
From here, simply select the "Archive" button.
This will prompt you to confirm your selection. If you're sure you want to archive it, press the OK button on the lower right. Afterwards, your game will only be visible to you.
How to View Archived Games
If you want to view your archived games, simply tick the "Archived" filter up top. This will show you all of your archived creations, and you're free to restore it at any time if you so desire.
How to Restore Archived Games
In the same page where you view archived games, hover over the experience you want to restore. Click on the three dots on the upper right and simply click "Restore" to republish the game.
IMPORTANT: If it doesn't show back up on your profile, you may have to re-publish the game on Roblox Studio to make it visible to everyone again.
