Removing creators
Archive a creator, restore them, or delete them permanently — and why creators who've been paid can never be permanently deleted.
Removing a creator is a two-step process, like a trash bin:
- Delete archives the creator. It's reversible.
- Delete permanently erases an archived creator. It isn't reversible, and it's blocked for anyone who has been paid.
If you only want a creator to stop being synced for a while, Pause them instead. See Statuses.
Archive a creator
Do either of these:
- On Creators, tick one or more creators and click Delete in the selection bar (it shows the count, for example Delete 3), then confirm with Remove.
- On a creator's profile, click the trash icon in Program Status and confirm.
An archived creator's status becomes Deleted. They're hidden from the roster, leaderboards and payout cycles and can't be paid. Their videos, payouts and history are kept.
Admins who are also creators
Removing a member who has both admin access and a creator profile from SettingsTeam takes away their admin access and archives their creator profile. See Team & access.
Restore an archived creator
Find them
On Creators, click View archived under the table title (it shows how many are archived), or set the status filter to Deleted.
Revive them
Open the creator and click Revive Creator. They come back as Active, with their history intact.
Adding an archived creator again with Add creators (same email) also restores their old profile.
Delete a creator permanently
This can't be undone
Permanently deleting a creator destroys their videos, sets and snapshots, engagement records, bounty claims, game entries, group memberships, posting violations, support tickets and notifications. Their brand membership is removed too, so they leave the members list. There's no second trash bin.
Open the archived view
On Creators, click View archived (or filter by Deleted).
Select and delete
Tick the creators and click Delete permanently in the selection bar (shown with the count, for example Delete 2 permanently).
Confirm
Type DELETE in the confirmation box and click the Delete permanently button.
If a selected creator can't be deleted, they stay selected and Bloss tells you why. The others are still deleted.
Who can't be permanently deleted
- Creators who aren't archived yet. Archive them first.
- Creators with payment history — any paid payout, paid referral bonus, or decided instant base pay request. Their archived profile is what keeps that payment history attached to a name, so it stays. The dialog names exactly what's blocking.
If the person also has admin access, permanently deleting their creator profile leaves their admin access in place.
