As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to delete assets that we do not want uploaded to the website.
The most common use for this would be to comply with the Roblox rules.
Sometimes, a developer accidentally uploads the wrong asset. Sometimes they upload an asset, then the rules change. Sometimes a developer’s account gets taken over, and rule-breaking assets are uploaded onto their account.
In all of these cases, the developer should have the chance to acknowledge and delete the r…
Problem:
As a Roblox developer, I have been on the platform for many years and some content that was uploaded in the early days of my account includes images which are currently not allowed on the site. Prohibited intellectual properties are a big one for me and are what brought me to create this thread. Said content has been deleted from my inventory, but this does not protect me from more unavoidable moderation at some point in the future. I’m sure that many others have some copyrighted conten…

As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to remove our Decals, Gamepasses, Badges, Shirts, etc. What I am proposing is a feature to archive said UGC items, more importantly, Decals and Places. These two items alone are types of items that users would love to hide from their given categories. An archive feature would help with that, giving the possibility to revive said place or item but not get rid of it completely. Additionally, when anything is archived it would be nice to make it so …
Midway thread edit
(Thanks to EchoReaper for the solid idea, this is his own words)
We need an archive for all assets: old places, games, models, decals, etc. Archive is by definition better than deletion. If you don’t like a cluttered archive, don’t go into the archive – then it’s the same thing as deletion. With plain deletion you can’t restore deleted assets though.
(Now back to my words)
Why an archive and not solid deletion?
Security. If someone gets your account they can delete all yo…
Note: Putting this in Web Features even though it encompasses all of the categories.
As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to prevent others from using your assets and game content even when you do not make it public.
This item is created by me. It’s not for sale–I have slaved over it for hundreds of hours and have poured my heart and soul into it. I would be crushed, should it be used in someone else’s game without credit. Fortunately, since it is offsale, nobody can possibly take…
As far as I’ve learned from these topics, Roblox will never allow us to permanently delete (or even update, to an extent) assets due to the risk of unwanted loss of property, either by accident or if your account is compromised. Assets being off-sale doesn’t make much of a difference; given that we can easily terminate VIP server subscriptions it’s not so much a concern of wasting peoples’ money. I ought to think that implementing an archive feature is still plausible, though.
I see, although if you just want to hide it then I would say that it still falls under the category of being able to archive assets. In this case removing an asset from your inventory would be pretty close to removing your own accessibility to it, so that’s probably why Roblox withheld that ability.
