Whether it's a story part that you've published by accident or just one that you no longer want your readers to see, you don't have to resort to deleting it - you can just unpublish the part. This will revert a story part back to draft.

The great thing about reverting a part to draft is that you can keep it and it's invisible to everyone else; if you delete a part, it can't be restored - it's gone forever.

While your story part is in draft form, the reads and votes will be removed from your story totals, but when you republish it, the reads and votes will be added back in. Your comments will all be restored as well. However, if you have edited a paragraph that has inline comments, those comments will no longer be attached with that paragraph, but will be included with the comments at the end of the chapter.

Please be aware that if you revert your entire story's chapters into a draft, it will be removed from reading lists and libraries that it had been added to. To keep that from happening, leave one chapter published, like an introduction chapter to make sure you don't lose your readers.
