Bit.ly – How to Permanently Delete a Shortened Link

bit.lyurl-shortening

I want to delete a shortened link from bit.ly that was created by me.

How can I do that?

Best Answer

This is not possible at this time. You can archive a link such that it won't show in your Manage listings, but that won't prevent the link from being used by someone who has the link already.
