how to delete my map?

[stan0033]

My question may look stupid, but how can I delete my map from the maps section?

Maps section of Hive Workshop?
You should be able to delete it by updating the map (an option in the update page?). However it does not look like that is the case. Moderators can delete it for you if you ask them I guess. Maps are never permanently deleted however and can be restored upon request.

From your Maps folder?
Go to the installation directory of WC3, open Maps, find the map you want to delete (this will be in Downloads if you got it from multiplayer) and then delete the file. You may need to delete the file in the recycling bin to permanently delete the file. The file may also reside in backups and shadow copies for a while.

the first one . haha you thought I can't delete the file xD.

So you say only moderators can? It would be better if the creator can delete it, but, well, I will ask someone.

The creators used to as I remember having to restore a number of models that a user submitted over years then deleted when he "rage quit" this site just to come back with second thoughts a few months later and wanting them restored.

Maybe this feature was never added to the maps section or the feature was removed due to abuse (people removing their stuff just because they leave this site).

this belongs in site discussion.

No it doesn't as he needed help, he didn't want to discuss the site.
Stop being butthurt because your thread was moved.

That was completely uncalled for. Also I agree this should be on site discussion as he is asking a question about removing a resource from this site.

This actually does belong in SD.

LordDz, that really was uncalled for. Remain civil, please.

stan0033, if you need anything removed, shoot me up.

You cannot delete it yourself. I know this is weird because you can remove most other things yourself. This was a limitation put in place to enforce mappers to use the update button instead of the delete button.

If you want your map deleted, you can just report it and write in the note that you would like it deleted. That is how we do it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Is there a disclaimer that a copy of uploaded files may be retained permanently? A silly thing I know but some people can get rather fussy about files they produce.

 

[Ralle]

There is none, no.
