How do I delete a wish?

Open the wish and choose delete to remove it permanently — or mark it as fulfilled instead if you just want to keep it but show it's been taken care of.

Written by Wishpicks

Open the wish on your wishlist and choose Delete. It's permanent, and there's no undo for a single deleted wish, so have a second look before you confirm.

Steps

  1. Open the wishlist that has the wish.

  2. Select the wish you want to remove.

  3. Choose Delete and confirm.

If the wish was reserved

Deleting it cancels the reservation. The person who reserved it isn't notified; the reservation simply ends along with the wish. That's different from removing only a reservation, where the person who reserved it does get told.

Good to know

If you want to keep the item on the list but show it's handled, mark it as fulfilled instead of deleting. The owner or a collaborator can do that, and the wish stays put with a flag saying it's taken care of. Handy when you've already received a gift but still want the record.

Deleting needs Contributor access or higher on the wishlist. As a Contributor you can delete the wishes you added. See "What's the difference between Full access and Contributor?" in the Shared Wishlists collection.
