How administrators and landlords can delete unwanted adverts

If you’ve become aware of a landlord that has created several adverts, and you or the landlord wish to delete them or if you as an administrator wish to remove them from the 'new adverts' (awaiting approval) list, the best way to remove multiple or unwanted adverts from the awaiting approval list is simply to delete them.

If the advert(s) has already been approved (regardless of whether it is live or not yet live), there will be a red delete button at the bottom-left of the advert that both administrators and landlords can see and use. Simply click that button to delete it permanently from the control site (a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm deletion - click to confirm and it will be permanently deleted from the account).

If the advert(s) is awaiting approval, landlords can still delete the advert by clicking on the Delete button as mentioned above. The way for administrators to delete them is to click on the Reject button shown below. You will then get the options of Confirm rejection or Reject and delete, both of which will take the advert out of the awaiting approval list on the dashboard.

 

Confirm rejection will reject the advert and remove it from the awaiting approval list but the landlord will be able to edit the advert and reuse it at a later date if they wish.

Reject and delete will completely delete the advert from the control site whilst also removing it from the awaiting approval list. Once it is deleted it cannot be restored.

These actions can be repeated as many times as necessary until all unwanted adverts have been removed.
