Archive is a platform that helps you collect, organize, and leverage user-generated content from various social media platforms Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. As your content library grows, you may need to manage your assets by removing outdated or unnecessary content.
Archive provides two efficient methods for managing your asset library, one of which is removing unwanted content.
Method 1: Delete Individual Assets
If you need to remove just one asset at a time:
Locate the asset you want to delete in your library
Click on the [...] menu (three dots) for that asset
Select Delete from library
Method 2: Batch Delete Multiple Assets
To remove several assets simultaneously:
Hover over an asset and click the checkbox in the top left corner
Continue selecting all assets you wish to remove
As soon as you're ready with your selection, click on the trash icon to delete all content
Click on Delete to confirm the deletion
Method 3: Delete All Content Using Select All
Note: Please make sure to double check everything before you delete all content.
Hover over an asset and click the checkbox in the top left corner
Click on the Select all checkbox found at the bottom of your screen
Click on the trash icon to delete all content
Click on Delete to confirm the deletion
Recovering Accidentally Deleted Content
If you accidentally deleted content, there are two ways to recover it:
Contact Archive Support. Reach out via the in-app chat or at [email protected] and the team will recover the content for you.
Re-add the content via UGC Link. If you have the original post URL, you can add it back directly using the UGC Link upload feature. Paste the link and Archive will automatically pull the content back into your library — no support request needed.
📋 Note: Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours on Instagram's side, so a Story link will only work if the Story is still active. If the Story has already expired, contact Archive Support instead.
Additional Notes
Notes:
Deleting content will not reduce your UGC usage for the current month. Once content has been pulled by Archive, it counts toward your UGC total, regardless of whether it's later deleted.
