How to Delete Your Medium Posts

Over time, your Medium account can fill up with outdated content, drafts you no longer need, or posts that no longer reflect your current voice. Whether you’re rebranding, protecting your privacy, or simply starting fresh, Redact makes it fast and easy to bulk delete your Medium articles and messages.

Here’s how to use Redact to remove your Medium history and optimize your presence on the platform.

Why Use Redact for Medium?

If you’re making content for Medium, you already know that quality is a critical factor in your performance on the platform. Old, outdated content can make your brand on Medium feel sloppy, poorly managed or low-quality; even if you’re an amazing writer today.

Removing old content that isn’t benefiting your Medium profile is as important as posting relevant, new content. But the process to remove articles can be long, and tedious. You may need to review hundreds of posts, looking for the ones that don’t fit your brand, and deleting them one by one.

Redact makes this process easy – giving writers, professionals, and creators an easy way to manage and delete their online history on Medium. With Redact, you can;

Delete thousands of Medium posts in one session
Use advanced filters to control exactly what gets removed
Safeguard your online privacy
