Favorites Which is Content Deleted

Today I tried to clear up some things on my profile, which includes removing a lot of my “favorites” which can seem unprofessional to have, which also included the following item as an example (there are many more):

The problem is, when I try to remove it, it just sends me directly into the catalog “Catalog - Roblox”.

Which means I have no chance of removing the favorited item.

We can also take an example from “Models and Packages”. Here we can try these 2:

Once again, no chance of removing them.

Expected behavior

I expect to be able to go and remove the favorite from the item, so I can clean my profile.

I hope this makes some sort of sense.

@YaBoyDabi as a workaround, you can use the roblox API directly. i’ve tried favoriting and unfavoriting the example item you had in your inventory and it worked for me.

a quick way to do this is go to the legacy swagger documentation for the catalog.
just go to the Favorites heading, then click the DELETE route and Try it Out.

then you can put in your User ID and the item you want unfavorited.

then click Execute, and the item should be unfavorited :‎)

by the way, don’t do this if you don’t understand what’s happening here.
the swagger docs can do anything to your account, don’t paste anything!

Well I might wanna try that then, but I still think we need a feature for it or smth, cause it can’t be right that I need to use the API directly to remove a favorite :grimacing:

To be honest this isn’t really a bug, it’s more a lack of a feature. Should probably be in #feature-requests

The initial problem with the post I’d consider a bug.

Yea, it turned a little bit into a feature request, but as @PreciseGaps said, the initial post was a bug report.

I don’t have access to feature request as well.

Hi, would you know why the documentation for legacy web apis now contain two backslashes?

I’m used to doc links being similar to https://catalog.roblox.com/docs unless Roblox changed it recently?? The link no longer leads to swagger, but the one you sent does.

Also, thanks for your solution, it worked for me personally and I was able to get rid of clutter in my favourites.

unfortunately intentional. the temporary workaround is using //docs but long-term they plan on deprecating the pages themselves.

The docs referenced in the post you reply to are here now:

We’re looking into porting over the try-out feature in the future.
