Delete your Showdek account or content.

Manage content you created on Showdek or request deletion of your entire Showdek account. These instructions include only controls verified in the current Android app.

Plain-language summary

At a glance

You can delete supported standalone posts, clips, builds, active stories, and messages you sent. You can also start full account deletion from your account settings.

  • Individual deletion controls are available for standalone posts, clips, builds, active stories, sent direct messages, and project-room messages.
  • Content is removed from normal Showdek surfaces first; associated file cleanup may continue afterward.
  • Full account deletion starts from Profile, More, Account settings, then Delete account.
  • If you cannot access the app, create an email request to privacy@showdek.com.

Only deletion controls verified in the current Android app are documented here. Other content types are omitted until a user-accessible deletion path is available and verified.

Delete Individual Content

Manage content you created on Showdek without deleting your entire account. The instructions below cover only deletion controls currently verified in the Showdek Android app.

Delete a Post

  1. Open Showdek and select Profile in the bottom navigation.
  2. Select Space and open a standalone post you created.
  3. Open Content options, choose Delete post, and confirm Delete.
  4. The post is removed from your profile and normal feeds. Associated file cleanup continues through Showdek's backend cleanup process.
  5. The current app does not provide a way to restore the post. Some records may be retained where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Delete a Clip

  1. Select Clips in the bottom navigation and find a clip you created.
  2. Open More, choose Delete clip, and confirm Delete.
  3. The clip is removed from normal Showdek surfaces. Associated file cleanup continues through Showdek's backend cleanup process.
  4. The current app does not provide a way to restore the clip. Some records may be retained where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Delete a Build

  1. Open Showdek, select Profile, and choose the Builds tab.
  2. Open a build you own, open Content options, and choose Delete build.
  3. Review the confirmation and confirm Delete.
  4. The build and its linked content are removed from normal Showdek surfaces. Associated file cleanup continues through Showdek's backend cleanup process.
  5. The current app does not provide a way to restore the build. Some records may be retained where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Delete a Story

  1. From Home, open your active story in the Stories row.
  2. Select Delete story, review the confirmation, and confirm Delete.
  3. The story is removed from Showdek immediately. Associated file cleanup continues through Showdek's backend cleanup process.
  4. The story cannot be restored in the current app. Some records may be retained where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Unsend a Direct Message

  1. Select Messages in the bottom navigation and open the conversation.
  2. Press and hold a message you sent, then choose Unsend message.
  3. Review the confirmation and select Unsend.
  4. The message text and attachment access are removed for everyone in the conversation and replaced by a deleted-message notice. The app also attempts to remove any stored attachment.
  5. The message cannot be restored in the current app. Limited records may remain where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Delete a Project Room Message

  1. Open a build you own or collaborate on, open Project Rooms, and choose the room.
  2. Press and hold a message you sent, then choose Delete message.
  3. Review the confirmation and confirm Delete.
  4. The message text is cleared and replaced with a deletion marker for room members. The verified project-room message flow is text-only, so no media cleanup is involved.
  5. The message cannot be restored in the current app. Limited records may remain where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

What Happens After Content Deletion

  • Deleted posts, clips, and builds are hidden from normal Showdek views while related file cleanup continues later.
  • Deleted stories are no longer available through Showdek, while associated file cleanup may finish afterward.
  • Unsent messages remain visible only as deleted-message notices; their original text and attachment access are cleared.
  • Deleted project-room messages remain visible only as deletion markers; their original text is cleared.
  • Deletion cannot remove copies another person exported or stored outside Showdek.
  • Some records may be retained where required for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or lawful preservation obligations.

Delete Your Entire Account

  1. Open Showdek and select Profile in the bottom navigation.
  2. Open the More menu in the top-right of your profile.
  3. Choose Account settings.
  4. Scroll to Delete account. You may add an optional reason.
  5. Select Delete my account, review the confirmation, and confirm Delete account.

What Happens After Account Deletion

  • Showdek immediately hides and anonymizes your profile, posts, builds, and clips; expires active stories; clears supported social data and private preferences; and signs you out.
  • Comments are marked deleted. Text and attachment references in direct messages you sent are cleared.
  • The app creates a deletion request so a trusted backend process can complete authentication-account and stored-file cleanup. Showdek does not currently publish a fixed completion time for this stage.
  • The deletion-request record and deleted comment records may remain during processing. Some other limited records may be retained for security, legal compliance, dispute handling, backups, abuse prevention, or lawful preservation obligations.
  • Data outside Showdek's control, such as copies another person exported or stored, cannot be removed by the app.
